Let It Snow

Club Scrap’s Technique Challenge for December is “repeat stamping”.  I have a Club Scrap sentiment stamp from a long time ago that lent itself perfectly to this idea.   I decided to make a Christmas card for my husband (be glad you can’t hear me singing!):

The background was done with Iced Spruce and Stormy Sky Distress inks covered with Perfect Pearls.  The snowflake stamp is from Club Scrap’s “Shades of Winter” kit, stamped with Gina K. Designs In the Navy ink, embossed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang’s Queen Sheba’s Silver embossing powder.  The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Hematite embossing powder from Club Scrap (again, a long time ago).

Over the years I have spent with my husband I have heard many times how he was hoping for a “white Christmas”.  Since he spent most of his growing up years in Hawaii and Northern California, it makes sense.  We did experience a few, but most were just “brown”.  This year I actually heard him say he is glad we won’t be getting snow…maybe it is because we are now living in Hawaii.  With all that in mind, here is what I did to the inside of the card:

The “beach” is a stamp from Seaside Stampin’ Ink, stamped with Stormy Sky and Vintage Photo Distress Markers.  The palm trees are a stamp from Taylored Expressions, stamped with Ground Expresso and Peeled Paint Distress Markers.  The sentiments are printed from my computer.

Other supplies I used are:

**Card stock from Gina K Designs and Club Scrap.

**the ribbon is from Club Scrap (Time of Your Life), altered with Copic Marker.B99

**the gem is from Recollections.

Whether you are in snow or sand, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
