ODBDSLC 219

I am finally posting my first Christmas card, although I made 9 before this one, it is just that I need to wait until our siblings get them before I post so they don't see it on here first :)

This one will be going to my father in law.

Our Daily Bread Challenge this week is Christmas stamps and I picked this one up at my LSS last year after Christmas.  You can find out all the details about the challenge Here on their blog .



Looking at it after the picture has been taken the wreath seems really light in color to me but in real life it doesn't, looks ok to me, I think next time I will go with darker greens.  The bow is a separate stamp in the set so I cut that out and popped it up with dimensional tape.  The sentiment is from a different company.

ODBD -- Poinsettia Wreath stamp set colored w/markers
Spellbinders -- classic circle and Picot edge circles dies
Martha Stewart -- Border punch
Taylored Expression -- Designer mini tags dies
Stamps of life -- postmarks 2 stamp
Making memories -- ornament brad on the sentiment tag

Although I used taylored expression sentiment and tag die, Our daily bread has come out with a set of small sentiments stamps and cute tag and  charm dies you can check them out HERE , they are on my wish list :)

I will post my next set of Christmas cards in a couple days after they have been received.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, I know what a busy time of year this is for everyone and I appreciate taking the time to comment too.
