Hello. Welcome. The start of a new month, year, decade and people talk about looking back, looking forward, resolutions and words for the year. I don't usually subscribe to much of this cos I figure if you don't make it too concrete then there's less pressure and if it happens, it happens, and if it doesn't then nothings broken. Laid back me. But I am starting to think that I do have a word this year. It keeps cropping up. I keep using it. So I have decided to adopt it as my own. So this year's word is AWESOME. It's gonna be an awesome year, filled with awesome things and awesome people, and of course, I am going to be awesome too. Wait, I already am!! And so are you! So let's all be awesome together.
Grabbing a load of scraps from Scrap Mountain I stamped Papersmooches Chubby Friends Owl with Sky Blue archival and added some colour with Distress markers. I die cut him a hat (borrowed from a snowman) and coloured it with distress inks. The branch is part of Sizzix Deer die (the one with the wreath). I cut extra flowers, added colour with Promarkers and silver glitter and a rhinestone in each flower.
52 Weeks to Christmas are celebrating their 5th anniversary and want to see 5 of something on your christmas cards. I used 4 flowers on the branch and another on his hat, each with a rhinestone. The sentiment is a Kort og Godt stamp and means warm Christmas hugs.
The base card is Kort og Godt patterned card and if I may direct your eyes towards the bottom of the card I used a Fiskars Border Punch to add some fancy detail. I think this one is called Lace. It actually cuts a fancy edge and the bit at the bottom falls away. I decided to back the fancy detail with a scrap of blue card and return the bit that was cut off, cos I know me and if I didn't use it then it would only hike over to scrap mountain!! A scrap instantly generated and used!! Awesome!!!!!!
