It is Friends with Flair {FWF} Friday at UNITY… a day full of inspiration from fabulous Unity Stampers. The list of participating {FWF} hoppers can be found at Angela’s Unity Blog. Just a hint… someone has a secret blinkie that could win you some awesome Unity rubber when you leave a comment on that post!!!!
This is a super quick card and I LOVE how it turned out. I basically stole the idea from Kristina Werner’s card. I used the Season of blessings stamp from Unity’s September 2009 KOM. I need to use more stamps from this month. They seem to be eluding me somehow. I asked a friend today if she thought the saying was more for Thanksgiving or could I used it for a Christmas card? She said, “Christmas is a blessed event, so why wouldn’t it be a season of blessings?” I agreed.
The sentiment is embossed in Midnight Black embossing powder. Urban Prairie paper from Basic Grey has a repeat appearance in this card as well. I love how this paper looked like a Christmas sweater and it wasn’t even trying to be. In some spots you might find a part of a lady bug or caterpillar, but I tried to avoid them when I was punching out the ornaments. Haven’t really heard of a Christmas lady bug… yet.
The ornaments were punched out from with an EK Success punch. I don’t have the exact name, but all three ornaments are in one punch. I will take a wild guess that the name has “ornaments” somewhere in it. I just free handed the loops with a Sharpie pen and also used a ruler to draw the outline.
