Mornin' y'all! How's your week going so far? I picked Ryan up from school yesterday and he proceeded to argue with me for 10 minutes that the word "pizza" is pronounced PISA (soft z sound, like the town) and not PEETSA like everyone actually says it. He doesn't even EAT pizza so he's a pod person :p And I've been craving pizza ever since that conversation, so my dad agreed to change our lunch plans today to include pizza instead of Chinese food. Ha!
Anyway, I broke out a new stamp set and dies yesterday!
I love the Wishes All Around bundle and I know lots of other stampers have made zillions of pretty cards with it but hey, I like to concentrate on fall projects until at least Thanksgiving so I'm just now slowly working into making Christmas things. Check out the color combination courtesy of Cupcake Inspirations:
I dug out some glimmer paper from a couple of years ago (the package has gold, white, and Evening Evergreen and I'd never used any of it!) and used that for the wreath, then embossed the sentiment in white on my navy card base. I added a couple of white glitter sequins just in case the wreath wasn't glittery enough on its own. I used the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch:
Okay kids, that's it for me today. I've got a class at the Y and then pizza for lunch with my dad :) Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Wishes All Around
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Night of Navy, Gold Glimmer
Accessories: Wishes All Around dies, white EP, Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins
This is so dramatic and gorgeous, Christy - love it! Great job on using glimmer paper for that wreath - I know that can be a job, but so worth it! Thanks so much for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
