Merry & Bright



Hey everyone!  Sharing a card that was up on the Jane's Doodles blog yesterday.

I hadn't gotten a chance to use the snowmen from the Warm Wishes stamp set, and needed to fix that stat!

Lots of piecing on this one.  Most of the papers are from AC's Magical 6x6 pad with the exception of that gray background which is from Teresa Collins' Tinsel & Company 6x6 pad and the carrot nose.

I added a little white gel pen accent and Liquid Glass to the lights, and I used my Wink of Stella pen to accent the light holder part of the lights as well as the bows on the gifts.


I used some 3M adhesive to pop up the the snowman as well as the lights that aren't on the snowman itself.  I like this adhesive because it adds dimension, but it's not bulky at all, so mailing this one is easy.

I'm also linking up over at Simon Says Stamp since it's a Christmas challenge.

That's all for today.  Thanks for stopping by!
