Sometimes we get so caught up in all that beautiful patterned paper there is to choose from that we forget that, as stampers, we can make our own. I know I kinda forgot that but this very neat background stamp from DRS Designs certainly reminded me!
This past week the color combo on Splitcoaststampers was to use Old Olive, Bermuda Bay & Pretty in Pink. Since I had no patterned paper to match that combo, I made my own. Using the Interlocking Snowflake Background from DRS Designs, I stamped a half sheet of white cardstock. I stamped the snowflake image many times using Old Olive & Pretty in Pink classic ink pads from Stampin' Up! and Turquoise Chalk Ink pad from Colorbox. I cut 2 pieces to layer onto the front of my cards! Adding ribbon, pearls and other embellishments made each card just alittle different. The sentiment is a new release from DRS Designs called Merry Christmas Arc.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Our family had a wonderful time together. While we missed my Dad alot, it was a great day filled with family, friends, eating and remembering what we have to be thankful for! Just what Thanksgiving is all about. Talk to you soon!!
