2007 Christmas Card

As tradition (see 2006 and previous cards), I try to hand-craft my Christmas cards. Last year, I created this blue one. First, I stamped a card with a bubble-like background stamp and brushed it with metallic blue powder. Then on a light blue circle, I stamped a tree with its accompanying spiral tinsel, which I believe I embossed with silver powder. These stamps were part of a set from Stampin’ Up. I then overlayed the “ornament” with a circle cut from printed vellum. I think that the vellum was related to Disney’s Tinkerbell paper as it was supposed to be fairy dust or something like that. Lastly, I glued on a bow. Very simple- remember I was working full-time, in school full-time and getting ready for student teaching!
