We're off to Virginia Beach today for my son's football team who will be playing for the State Championship!!! I am so proud of them and hope they win!!! Go Bears!!!!!
This will be a quick post as I have tons to do! Today's Crazy challenge is to make a Christmas card or project. I made a card using THIS Impression Obsession stamp ~
The base of the card is Select White which was punched using my Martha Stewart punch on the front bottom flap. I added a panel of Cherry Cobbler CS on the inside. The image was stamped using Black Memento, colored using Copics and I added white flock on the stockings and birds santa hats. It is hard to see in the picture but of course I added clear Martha Stewart glitter on the snowy hills. You also can't see from my picture that I scored down each side of the image and OF COURSE, I thought to do this AFTER I stamped the image so one side is smaller than the other!! LOLOL!!! The ribbon is from May Arts.
I have sent this card to Shirley at Impression Obsession for their upcoming A Few of my Favorite Things Challenge HERE. One of my favorite things are birds. I love taking pictures of birds and seeing a beautiful red Cardinal in the snow is so beautiful although I don't like the snow and am hoping for a much milder winter this winter!!! LOL!!!
Here is a closer look ~
Have a great weekend and be sure to stop by the Crazies blogs and leave them some love!!!

Fabulous card! I love your coloring! I had to look at the stamp because I was not sure if you did the background or if it was part of the stamp. I also like the punched lattice at the bottom of the card. Good luck with the challenge.
Best wishes!
