Chairs to You! - May Stamp of the Month
Here is my card that I created for the hop!    I used the Wings Creative Basics Collection paper (X5812) for this card.   To give my chairs color, I first stamped them in Cocoa ink and colored them with watercolor pencils.  The I used a blending pen to blend the color.    The Juniper ribbon in the middle is included in the Wings Creative Basics pack - you get 4 yards of ribbon!  The cocoa ribbon is from the Cocoa Designer Ribbon Collection (Z1316) which includes 4 different ribbon (6 feet each)






I hope you enjoyed my card!   

Now hop on over to DEBBIE LITTLE'S BLOG and see what she has created!  Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the April SOTM is only available until April 30!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
