Well if this is December I'm just loving it! The weather is still beautiful here - warm enough to walk with just a jacket - no hat and gloves required! I hope it doesn't snow now! HAHA! I love to look at it, but I don't think I am in any condition for shoveling right now. I have a torn rotator cuff - I know too much football playing right Marybeth? My secret life! Just kidding - not really sure how it happened - just getting old I guess! Maybe too many turns of the die cut machine?
I've been working my way thorough this beautiful set of month stamps by Serendipity and I've made it to December. NO I am not finished with my set of cards - I actually started in May so I have a few more to look forward to. Once I get to the last one I'm going to offer them up as blog candy. Each one is so pretty .... the name of the month surrounded by little images so appropriate for the time of year. December has some cookies and pine boughs, and the border all the way around is candy cane striped. They are easy to color and are so festive!
I colored the images with Copic and fussy cut the stamp. I layered this on a pretty Cheery Lynn die cut and embellished with bow. I love glitter at Christmas time so I added a glitter embossed star, star die cut and pine cones. I made the little star button. I just cut out a small star - inked it up and heat embossed it with gold glitter powder, and then punched out the little button holes.
Hugs!
Jeanne

ReplyDeleteSo stunning and so much incredible detail! That sweet Santa all dressed in red in the background and those sugar cookies look good enough to eat. Love those gold pine cones, a fabulous touch with that beautiful red bow.
