Clean and Simple Holiday Cheer

Here's a Holiday Cheer card using the sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping Challenge blog.  Once again, I took the sketch and turned it.... this time upside down!  It just seemed to work better for me.

The sketch:
                                

Since I've been in a Holiday card making mode I decided to use ornaments in place of the flowers.   Hence, the reason I needed to turn the sketch around!  I used the stamp Holiday Cheer (B1381).   This 5x7 card was quick and easy.   Just the way I like them!
#161
I used Black Hemp for the ornament string and actually used the Black marker to add the bow.  And of course - the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut out my banner for "Happy Holiday".  Perfect cut for the stamp!   Final touch - sparkles!
Colors used:  Holiday Red and Topiary.   (All products are Close To My Heart)

I'm hoping to get another challenge done before I leave Wednesday for my annual MAD trip.  haha... don't worry - I'm not really going mad!   My 3 sisters and my mom take an annual trip each October so MAD is for Mother And Daughters!  :)  But stay tuned! I've got a few posts already scheduled during my absence so be sure to check back!

Welcome to our January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop . In this blog hop we are featuring Sweet Little Things.  This set includes 10 images! If you arrived here from  Maureen's Blog you are on the right track. This hop is a big circle. Just look for the next blog link at the bottom of my post. If you are just getting started on the hop, when you get back to me you will know you have completed the circle! If you get lost along the way, you can find the entire list of hoppers  HERE .   The cute little bear image made me think 'slimline' so I stamped him on a piece of White Daisy cardstock with Intense Black ink and then colored him with my Tri-Blend Markers.  I stamped the sentiment along the bottom and added an extra patch of flowers. To add a little interest to the card, I drew dashed lines to give the impression that the little bee has been flying all around the card!  I also added a few bitty sparkles. Products Used: Slimline Cards & Envelope...

I colored ...
