Mother's holiday cards are finished! Yippee! I really enjoyed making these and I was equally glad to get them wrapped up and handed over to my Mother yesterday. I posted a similiar card as this a few weeks ago. The background is from Jennifer McGuire's Holiday Thinking Inking class at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/. I believe this was week 3 or 4 of her videos. All are still available. Currently we are on the last week of the class.
For the foreground I stamped and embossed the snowflakes in silver and then added some Stickles also in silver for the centers.
When I showed Mother the first one, she exclaimed, "where did you get that button?" It's a Build-a-Brad from stamping up. I'm loving these more and more because they are very easy to make and you always get a matching brad since you stamp your own center.
Now on to my holiday cards. I've made a lot of them in ones and twos for challenges and stuff. Now is time finish up because it will soon be time to mail them!
Hope you are having a great holiday weekend!
