MTSC Holly Jolly




Good Wednesday Morning Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge.

The stamp set I used is "Holiday Lineup". This lineup of elves are just toooo funny. They look so frazzled but happy, like many of us ot this time of the year! LOL!!!

The base of the card is garden green, followed by real red and the DS paper is from the Merry Moments DS pack.

I stamped the elves onto watercolor paper with black stazon. I colored them in with my aqaupainter and garden geen, real red, blush blossom, old olive and chocolate chip ink. The sentiment comes from the "Christmas Punch" set, a level 2 hostess set. I matted it with garden green and a real red snowflake. I added some real red ribbon and mounted the main image with some dimensionals.

Well, that is all for today, I have alot of baking to get done today, an apple pie, a pumpkin roll and maybe a pecan pie.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Wonderfully done as always :D Love the DPs and the snowflake under the sentiment is great (must tuck away for future use :D). I'm planning to use my line of reindeer or snowmen for this sketch.
