Hey everyone! Here to share my card for this month's Holidays and Celebrations challenge.
This is one of the cards I made last week at my buddy JJ's house. It is just too much fun hanging out with crafty friends, not to mention using their stuff!
I used the JJ's Studio Calico Cuppa Card kit as well as the Mama Elephant stamps that came in the Cinnamon Spice Add on.
I layered two of the papers to create the background/setting, and then stamped the sentiment and houses with Versamark on vellum embossing in gold. The vellum piece is cut just slightly smaller than the patterned papers.
Some red satin ribbon was the perfect finish. It's Christmasy, but not CHRISTMASY, which is abnormal for me, because I'm a pretty traditional red/green girl.
Make sure to link up a card over on the Ribbon Carousel blog. I know you are all working on your holiday cards, and you just might win your very own Carousel!
Have a great day!
Supplies Used: Studio Calico Cuppa Card Kit and Cinnamon Spice Add on; Versamark; Judikins - Gold Embossing Powder; Celebrate - Red Sating Ribbon; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
