Time to Get Merry

Like a lot of us, Santa is pretty happy that Christmas is almost here! I received this Simon Says Stamp freebie die in a recent order and could not wait to try him out! I love the shadow effect it gives. In that same order I finally got the Stampers Anonymous Pines Layering stencil, too! I am playing along at Inkspirational Challenges #331 Use a Stencil.

I also used a Flora and Fauna older sentiment with Altenew Obsidian black ink. The trees were stenciled with a Versafine white pigment ink pad. The sparkly stars were die cut with shiny gold cardstock.

I stood in line at the post office yesterday for almost 45 minutes (only two windows open) just to get some butterfly stamps so that my cards would be hand canceled...I don't want any destroyed cards!!

Happy Holidays!!!
