Today is the day! Gotta get cards in the mail! I’m probably the last one…ugh! lol Thanks for stopping by! I love hearing from you!
What a bummer… I just realized I didn’t purchase any Christmas postage stamps! oh well, purple LOVE stamps are Christmas, right?! ha!
Today’s card is for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog. Mimi is sending love at Christmastime! I used Penny Black’s Royal Greetings stamp 4096K, Hero Arts stamp C3159 Sending Love, and the stitching is from a clear set by Sandy Lion – Kelly Panacci Borders KPSTP4. Mimi is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Mailbox blues are B30’s with some warm grays. Greens are YG00’s and G99. Reds are the 20’s, 59, E07 and some warm grays. Hair is E30’s. Skin E0000, 000, 00, 11. White flower soft on her hat. The little heart on the envelope is a teeny heart punch from a Fiskars handheld (paperboy type) heart punch. The tree charm “thing” is from Around the Block, I think. It’s old! Probably five years or so! The dark green paper is old PSX (Personal Stamp Exchange)… the tree paper is from American Crafts and I just purchased it this year! How ’bout that! lol
Here’s a close up…
Here’s the sketch…
From the side…I don’t know why this tree embellishment was on my desk but I’m sure liking it!
Tree report… the tree is standing…still not decorated…but standing is good! lol In looking at it, I think the trunk is crooked and leans to the left. I need to point that out to Tim and see what he thinks. I’m gonna decorate that thing today if it’s the last thing I do!!! I’ll post a picture then…I do love Christmas trees… just wish we could bottle up the time and treasure it a little longer. Take care and good cheer!
I LOVE this charming Tilda from the Merry Little Christmas collection.
Here’s an “extreme” close up of this cutie!
and the card from the side…
This is a Bo Bunny paper pad that came with the patterns in shapes that you punch out… cool. Tilda is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… BG 90’s and Warm grays for her outfit…bench and antlers are E43, 44, 44, 49…holly is the YG90’s…hair is E50, YR 21, 23, 24 and E37 … skin E000, 00, 11 and a diluted R20 (diluted with R000 refill that I added to the barrel of the R20 marker).
I used a cling Hero Arts background stamp CG154 Aged Print Frame for the border of the square piece Tilda is on…Stampendous music background both stamped in Distress Old Paper ink. The paper ribbon off the left side (small piece) is from a package by Anna Griffin. “Add Some Jingle” is a new Printworks stamp, HERE. Ordering info in the left column, HERE. More new stamps under new releases in the left column.
Peace, Joy and Love be yours this Christmas Season! Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate your friendships so much!!!
so much for finishing the tree today! hahahahahahahaha I didn’t even hear it go over! I’m really not laughing out loud! At least I’d only put some ornies on the stupid thing! This is our first time to ever have a Balsam Fir…we’ve always purchased Frasers. We were late getting to the tree lot and they were out. This crazy tree is drinking water like crazy… it must think it’s still alive! oh well… I think I better stamp! See that pile of rubber on the couch??? January release! cool! lol
