Countdown Day 3
This is HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS from My Favorite Things which will be released on August 1st! There are so many possibilities with all the cute images you’ll get in this set! But, as I sat baking in my 90 degree apartment last night it was hard to get in the Christmas spirit. I pulled out some Christmas papers, sat and stared at them for a while, and soon I was singing “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and thinking red and green! LOL! I stamped the images with Palette Noir and colored them with Copic and Prismacolor markers. I have some of both so I just grab the colors that best match what I’m looking for. I picked up the mini Christmas tree lights on clearance a couple years ago. They’re meant to string around a mini Christmas tree, but I
knew I’d find some papercraft related use for them! Am I the only one who stockpiles odd items in hopes that they might be useful in cardmaking someday!? It drives my husband nuts so it would be nice to let him know he’s not the only husband suffering through this! LOL! I used glue dots to adhere the lights to the tree. The card base is Wild Wasabi and stamped with Itty Bitty Backgrounds. The patterned paper is by KI Memories and the ribbon is from Strano Designs. I stitched along the bottom and around the image and highlighted portions of the Christmas tree with Stardust Gelly Roll pen. Thanks for stopping by for the countdown today! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! Check back tomorrow for another great new release from MFT!
