Hello friends. Another 90 degree day here today. The news reported that this is the 18th hottest summer on record so far this year with a 2.6 degree above average temperature. I'm not sure that 87.4 degrees would have felt that much cooler. After the rain yesterday the garden is heavenly!
Today's post is another Christmas card that I hope you enjoy. I used our new Greeting Card Kids stamp set. Aren't they adorable? Stamped on Watercolor Paper with Jet Black StazOn Ink, they are perfect for coloring with our Aqua Painters. Something I haven't done in ages. I thought this little lovely would prefer a soft Regal Rose coat. Her tree is Old Olive and the wagon is our gorgeous new Cherry Cobbler. The vintage look is created with our Distressing Essentials kit...it's a "must have". I LOVE all the tools it has to offer ... inks, files, sanding block, and a flat stamp. "What's this?", I asked. Then glancing at the instructions ... "Oh, that's how you do it?!" JOY!
Some Chunky Essentials glitter was added to her coat with a 2 Way Glue Pen. The background paper is from the Jolly Holiday collection - it's wonderful! The Basic Pearls Jewels gave just the right touch in the lower left. Our Old Olive ribbon provides the perfect spot for my crocheted flower from Fleurettes II - precious with a little rose colored button in the center. My "Merry Christmas" is from our Star Punch set and stamped in Cherry Cobbler.
