New Holly Stamp
I'm one of those people who takes forever to use a gift certificate. I'm always afraid I'll wish I'd gotten something else. However, I did take advantage of the recent Impression Obsession sale & here's my first card with one of my new stamps--Holly, G2000.
I was immediately drawn to it on-line & oh my goodness--it is so beautiful! I used a mask I'd previously made from acetate with a circle die. The Distress Inks are peeled paint, shabby shutters & frayed burlap. The holly is gold embossed, as is the strip of cardstock.
I splattered with Distress Stain Tarnished Bronze & stamped the IO sentiment, B5518, in frayed burlap. No buyers remorse this time! I'm entering the Impression Obsession challenge, Country View Challenges, SSS Monday, SSS Christmas Card Day & Stamplorations Theme & Sketch. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by in this busy holiday season.
