#TGIF184 Color Challenge and Fancy Friday Blog Hop – Christmas

 Hi!!! I am so happy to be hopping with this talented group of stampers again this month. My recent hip surgery kept me out last month, so I was really looking forward to this.

 This month we had to reschedule a little bit, so we are a week later – but we still have a TON of gorgeous inspiration for you. This month we are showcasing Christmas inspired projects for you. I'm combining this with this week's TGIF Color Challenge! Sometimes you just have to try to be efficient!

 I am still playing around with some different Christmas Card ideas, so I thought I would see if I could get a nice Americana/Rustic look with this color combo.

  Well – I think it worked! Using the Tin Tile Embossing folder sure does help though! After embossing, I sponged it a bit with the three colors to age it and give it a little depth. The snowman is stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored in with our regular Stampin' Write Markers.

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.
