It's a the first Tuesday of December and Skipping Stones Design is welcoming some new guest designers: Tosha Leyendekker, Windy Robinson and Kendra Sand. Our sketch artist for the month is the fabulous Jen del Muro - definitely lots of fun and inspiration coming your way!
Here's our sketch for the week!
And here's my take on it!
supplies: CS: Very Vanilla (SU!), kraft (Bazzill); DP: Canvas Corp; stamp sets: Timeless Textures, Christmas Swirls (Skipping Stones Design); stamping inks: black (Memento), Riding Hood Red (SU!); twine: Whisker Graphics; wide oval punch (SU!)
See? I warned you that I'd be creating a bunch of Christmas cards! *lol* In all fairness, though, I've been in a HUGE Christmas spirit lately - I don't know if it's because I've got 2 kids that area really excited about the upcoming holiday or what. It's just great to really enjoy Christmas through a kid's perspective, kwim? :)
Anyway, about my card... This month SSD is working together with Canvas Corp! Canvas Corp has got some awesome products - including this awesome DP (the stripes and the polka dots) I used on my card... I don't even know if I can call it "designer paper" - it's super thick like cardstock and has a kraft base! *swoon*
I also used one of the texture stamps from the the Timeless Textures set on my card - I really love the texture stamp sets from SSD. They add great dimension and a little bit of that extra something when you don't know what to use but you know you need something there! *lol*
Pick up your Timeless Textures set today - it's one of our Featured sets of the month for $12.49!
Anyway, I hope you have a fabulous day today. Thank you so much for stopping by! Head on over to the Skipping Stones Design blog for more inspiration and to say hello to our guest designers! :)
Oooh, this is gorgeous!
