Calm Christmas

Can you believe it?  It’s less then 10 days until Christmas!  Jeepers!  I better get going on my Christmas cards…no SERIOUSLY!!!!  But I spent the weekend grading and I just about have all that done.  It always takes me a long time to do the last of the grading.

Mary Jo has another wonderful sketch for us on the Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge and I thought it would be perfect for the Calm Christmas set.  I do like this bird!

Here’s the details…

• Pool Party – 4 1/2 x 11 folded
• Snowflake print (Winter Frost dsp) – 3 3/4 x 5
• Cherry Cobbler – 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, layer snowflake print on this then add to card front
• Add 3 x3 piece of Whisper White onto Cherry Cobbler 3 1/8 x 3 1/8.
• Add 3 x 3/4 strip of Silver Glimmer to panel, wrap piece of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon around panel then add to card front.
• Stamp bird in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White and cut out.  Add leaf/stem in Pool Party (from 2-step bird punch) then add to card front using dimensionals
• Stamp Peace on Earth using Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White, punch out using the extra large oval punch, add to Pool Party Decorative Label Punch (sponge Pool Party around the edges).   Add to card front using dimensionals.
• Add some Basic Rhinestones to stem/leaf to finish it off.

I thought this was a great sketch and it would looked cool turned too!  Hope you can join the fun!  Don’t forget to check out the other members of the team and remember go to the Technostamper blog to play along!
