I know I've been using this brick embossing folder a LOT lately, but can't seem to help myself! And especially after I saw Loll's post about using embossing folders and Brushos...what a cool technique! I used Crimson Brushos with my brick embossing folder, and just a little bit of water, and came up with this really neat background! My sentiment is from PTI's Think Big Favorites: #20, and those adorable little birdies are from Penny Black's Winter Wonderland stamp set. I colored them with my Copics and fussy cut them out, and then perched them onto my sentiment banner. I added a few music notes from Winnie & Walter's Ring in the Celebration stamp set to add to the Christmas carol feel.
There's still a couple days left to play along with this challenge, and there are some seriously fabulous cards by the DT and in the gallery to inspire you to get a head start on those Christmas cards! You can see it all right HERE!
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!! :0)
