Hi everyone! I just got these dies and stamps in the mail from Paper Smooches and had to play with them using the challenge over at Simon Says Stamps. The want a clean and simple Christmas card and this fits the bill.
I used some Stick it! adhesive on the back of silver foil cardstock when cutting these out. Sponged on the ink colors using a finger dauber and then stamped the sentiment, which is also from Paper Smooches.I initially used a piece of post it note tape to mask the bulb, but it left a line that I wasn't liking. Went back and added more ink and the now I'm not too happy with the green and red bulbs. Isn't it funny how picky we can be with our own work?
OK, at this point it is what it is. Thanks for stopping by!
Had to come over after your very kind comment on my blog - love how you've made the lights 'glow'!
