Merry and Bright

Hello and welcome to Studio 5380.

Thank you so much for stopping today!

I can't believe that we are over half way through November.  It's (past) time for me to get serious with those Christmas cards and gift tags!  I thought it would be fun and motivational for me to play along with a challenge or two and get myself busy on these Christmas projects.  So, today's card was inspired by the current Sketch Challenge going on over at My Favorite Things:

I used the "Perfect Poinsettia" die set and inked up my cuts with several shades of red and green Distress Ink.  I couldn't get the deep, rich red I wanted until I mixed in a little "Ground Espresso" ink and that did the trick.

My sentiments are from the MFT stamp set, "Hand Lettered Holiday".

I stamped my sentiments in black ink then Versamark clear and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I love the shiny look this method creates.

That about wraps things up!

I'm off to link up my project. Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

Have a great day and I hope to see  you soon.
