I spent the entire month of October creating my Christmas cards for this year - I was determined not to end up in the same situation I find myself most years - just a few handmade cards! This year I set a goal of making one a day during October and it worked for me! How fun it was to do ART every day with a wonderful end result! In fact, I still had "leftovers" on my work table at the end of the month and made a few more! I'm sure I'll still use some store-bought cards too as there are some beautiful ones to purchase. I began this project with a couple sheets of Graphic 45 paper that had beautiful images so it wasn't hard to get into the Christmas spirit. If you don't know, I truly love postcards and there were a couple on this sheet that I just fell in love with. Even though I knew I'd be using the same image more than once, I tried to alter each so they all had a different look to them. In this one, I played up the poinsettia stamp on the postcard! I've used this stamp for a few years and all I find on the wood is Santa-Rosa, CA #G-3341 but it is a beauty stamped! On my cream card stock I stamped it 5 times at different angles...colored with chalks and pencils, and sealed. Next I layered the postcard image onto a red layer and put this down in the center of the card. What do you think of this design - what would you have done differently??? Thanks for stopping by and chatting with me - Enjoy your day! Diann
