Carolling Trio...


Hi there! I'm already getting started on my holiday cards this year, as I found it much better to make a few here and there throughout the year instead of trying to make so many in a time crunch in November :) I made the card using this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge found here. It is a 'Case It' challenge - I changed the background papers and stamp. The stamp I used is from the PB set Christmas Critters. TFL!


Supplies:
Paper: SU-Baja Breeze, Whiper White, CTMH-Wonderland
Stamp: Penny Black
Accessories: CTMH- Wonderland overlays & stickers, glitter brad. Square nestabilities
SU-Baja Breeze stitched ribbon, dimensionals, Copic markers, Prisma pencils
