Hello friends. Sue is our hostess this week at
Merry Monday and she would like to see you use a verse on your Christmas cards.
I used a sentiment/verse from Penny Black's Yuletide Wishes that I have always loved and stamped it as the focal point of my card.
I started by blending Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean, & Faded Jeans DOX inks onto my cardstock (the Wilted Violet really is there...it's just not showing up too well in my photo!) and then used the ghosting technique where I spritzed my Memory Box stencil
Winter Flurry Frame quite liberally with water and then laid it over my blended piece with a couple heavy books on top of it and then left it for about a half hour. I love using this technique where the water soaks up the color and leaves a shadowed look from your stencil. Next I used a Gina Marie Designs die to cut all the tiny stars out, and then after stamping my verse, backed this piece with a piece of gold mirror cardstock so all my stars would be gold and shiny. A simple white card base finished off my card.
We can't wait to see what YOU come up with this week, so check through your stamps or even computer generate a verse or sentiment you really like to use at Christmas, and add it to your card. There is LOTS of BEAUTIFUL inspiration from the rest of the DT to get you inspired, so check it out and play along with us! You can find all the info you need right

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
