Happy Little Stampers ~ Christmas Challenge MAY

How are you doing? The COVID 19 restrictions have put a bit of a damper on my life. However, I understand the importance of flattening the curve. For me, a way to do this, is stay home and craft! 

We have a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers ~ Christmas Challenge


Here's my card


I looked around my stash for a mistletoe stamp or mistletoe-like stamp. I found this one in Stampin' Up's Easy Events stamp set. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a bit of color with Copic markers - R46, YG63, YG67. While I realize that mistletoe doesn't have red berries. I wanted to use traditional Christmas colors on my card - so red and green. I like that the stamp included the sentiment so that I didn't have to struggle to get it "straight". I trimmed the panel to 2.5" x 2.5" and matted the square with dark green. I decided to use a kraft A2 card panel for the background. I felt that the card needed a little something something - you know what I mean? I looked around and found some wide shiny ribbon and used that behind the stamped panel. 

We'd love to see your creations.
