Joyous Christmas


 I used a CTMH embossing folder and a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp sentiment to put this card together. After embossing, I lightly sponged color on the trees, deer and house in the background. I added tiny gold die-cut stars to the tops of a couple trees, and added a few more to the sky. This was quick and easy to make and even though the photo doesn't pick up the colors, it looks pretty IRL.

Sharing this with the following challenges:



Can You Handle the Pressure - A/G using an embossing folder
with a twist of winter fun



Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a great Thanksgiving day tomorrow if you celebrate.


 I spotted this sign when I was out yesterday and had to share -

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn. 

That might be hazardous to your health! LOL
