Holiday Greetings


Here’s another card for my Ladies, Ink September challenge to make 3 Christmas trees.

This entire card is created in blues. My image panel is some cheap photo paper instead of glossy cs. I stamped my tree in Night of Navy then let it dry. I used bashful blue to cover my glossy cs. Since we all know how brayer challenged I am, I used my Tim Holtz applicator.

I layered with Night of Navy and Bordering Blue. Added my sentiment, embossed with gold ep and stamped a sentiment inside.

Isn’t this ribbon gorgeous? I got rolls and rolls of this last year after Christmas as JoAnns for $0.19 a roll. I love how one half of the ribbon is sheer and that thread of gold through it.


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!



Stamps: SU Lovely as a Tree, Sincere Salutations, Christmas Greetings.

CS and DP: Bordering Blue, Night of Navy, Glossy CS

Inks, markers and coloring tools: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Versamark

Extra goodies: Gold EP, ribbon
