Yea Friday!!!!!! :) Are you as happy as I am that it's actually Friday? This week the need arose for a couple of Christmas thank you cards. I needed to come up with something rather quickly, and once again I came up with this idea when I was driving home :)
I stamped the Santa in London Fog Momento ink and then used a gel roller pen to add some sparkle to the snowflakes in his beard.
I stamped the background of the card with my music notes from Papertrey Ink in the same London Fog ink. It's a little less "in your face" than black and I really like the effect on the red.
I die cut the Santa and banner, added a sentiment and a bit of sparkly twine/ribbon and I was all done! Even though I only made two of these, I know they were easy enough I'll be able to recreate more in no time!
What's up for your weekend? My work Christmas party is today, during the day and then I'm heading to the grocery store tonight. Tomorrow we have the anniversary party and the girls "coupon" in the Advent Calendar is good for pizza and gingerbread house making. Sunday I'm hoping to take it easy and craft a little bit, just for myself! Imagine the thought! Haha!
Have a wonderful Friday and a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for coming by today and I'll see you soon!

ReplyDeleteI usually go with a brown ink when I think black is to dark, but I am lovin' your colour.
I am trying to use up my supplies and not buy anymore...but I may need some ink from Michaels, teehee.
