I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches. And since the holiday season is rapidly approaching I decided to keep it simple. I embossed the holly images in white and then water colored them using Distress Inks. I stacked the sentiment letters and put them on a simple vellum banner so the holly would show through - easy and fun to do!
In the meantime I am busy working hard to get this gal used to walking on a leash. She is so full of joy and excitement about everything it is hard to resist that face when she "says" come on let's go for a walk!
I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches! It is a simple wide open sketch so have fun with it! Hope you join us - I love seeing all of your creations!
Stamp Set: Joyful Holly
Ink: Versamark, Distress
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Mad For Plaid DSP, Vellum
