Hi! This card was made for today's Featured Stamper Challenge: IAMAMUTTNUT. I chose THIS CARD to CASE-Copy And Share Everything.
My dad is home from the hospital. But, Mark, Markie and I all have the flu, so we can't go and visit him or my mother. Markie has the least severe case, and Mark is coming around. However, me being SUPER DUPER special, (I have asthma), I'm REALLY suffering. However, I'm in good spirits tonight and able to stamp. This is the first time since Wednesday that I even got out of bed for more than going to the bathroom! My poor dogs think I'm ignoring them! LOL Speedy the Cat, that prince of all cats, has stayed by my coughing side this entire week. I tell you, that animal is just WONDERFUL!
Okay...onto the card. I changed the stamp set, but kept the color combo, ribbon placement, stamped the background, and pretty much just changed the theme to a Holiday Card. The image was stamped in Adirondack Espresso, and I sponged on Palette Ballet Blue and Landscape to make the tree the "blue Spruce color." I stamped the Blue background with the Palette Ballet with the Flourish from Flourishes and Frame. That set is REALLY coming in handy for holiday cards! I went over the tree with 2 Way Glue and added super fine glitter.
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 31 minutes
