I mailed out my Christmas cards early this year, so now I'll post the card I made for most of those on my list. When I first spotted this stamp by Impression Obsession, I knew I had to have it! My DH and I used to have horses in our younger days and this image just did it for me! Those Santa hats on those awesome horse images won me over instantly. I also had it in mind that I was going to make flat cards this year that didn't require extra postage, so this was the result.I stamped the image with Stazon black ink on PTI white cardstock. After trying many different inks, the Stazon gave me the best results. I colored the hats with 2 different red Tombow markers, and added some MS tinsel crystal glitter glue for the fur. I used liquid applique and Dazzling Diamonds on some, and some polar white Flower-soft on others, but the MS tinsel glitter gave me the dazzling effect I was looking for. The sentiment is by SU and some cards said Seasons Greetings, Noel, or Happy Holidays, so I had a variety to send.
As Christmas draws near, my baking will start getting into full swing now, so I'll be a busy bee for a little while :)
Take good care and have a wonderful Monday! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking time to leave your thoughts :)
