Christmas card with Non Christmas Stamps


 Hi there - another Sunday is upon us! Today I'm feeling a bit strange, because my 14 yo son has just departed for a 3 weeks trip with School to Cambodia and Laos. I'm very excited for him, but it will hard not being able to have contact him. They do have a trip blog, but if I know Lochie, he is not one to get caught in a photo!
This morning I've made a card for the Take it, Make it challenge at 
the Craft Stamper blog. The challenge is to make a Christmas card with non Christmas stamps.




So as you can see I went for an artsy look. I used Hero Arts Brush Strokes stamps and distress inks for the tree. The star is From Winnie & Walter It's a wonderful Pennant. The sentiment is made with a WPLUS9 die. The baubles are made with Liquid Pearls. The red panel was stamped with an old Hero Arts stamp and then I went over the stamping with Pan Pastel.
The base card was embossed with my new favourite folder from We R Memory Keepers.

I'm also entering this in the Hero arts Holiday Cards challenge - Anything Goes and the Moxie Fab Tree-mendous Trees Challenge.
