Your Favorite Things

 
Shopping Your Stash Challenge 66: this week is to use your favorite things. This Christmas card uses some of my favorite digi image by Arty Pants, Distress inks and Metallic Rubs.

I printed my image on file folder paper and rubbed on layers last year’s Christmas Distress Ink colors of festive berries, iced spruce and evergreen boughs. I added some glitter pen to parts of the image to give it a more festive feel along with a gold card stock background and and a gold ribbon.

The Merry and Bright sentiment is from a free set of digi images by Kimm at Beary Scrap which I colored with metallic rubs. I have used these sentiments many times, they are nice to have in your stock of supplies. I used my sets of Alphabet stamps to add the Dec. 25th to the card.

Thanks for stopping by today and do something creative for yourself. Remember my favorite quote is by Maya Angelou. "You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have."

    Judy- I just love everything about this card. The stamping and coloured background are stunning and how cute is the little ticket embellishment on the front?! Saw it on MIM and the dramatic colours instantly caught my eye, so glad I took a closer look. Thanks for sharing this project.
