Man oh man have I been experiencing technology break downs & problems! I know a lot of the linky things here have been wonky...BUT, turns out my blog updated & (surprise!) things are wonky there & 10 times more time consuming. Gotta love updates! And I seem to be locked out of my Pinterest acct & I can't get them to respond. The battery on my laptop died so I had wait over 2 weeks for them to send me a new Mac. Sheesh!
Anyway, to make my Christmas card, I had a little piece of die cut linen card stock that fit this little berry tree
perfectly, so I used it to stamp & color the image. On the larger white layer, I stamped the little flourish image all over using the greens of a Kaleidacolor ink pad then added the green layer. For the greeting, I stamped just the word Christmas by using a green marker then added the red die cut Merry.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Sweet Christmas card. I like the berry tree and the swirly background paper. I feel your frustration but have never had it that bad with tech breakdowns.

When it rains it pours and I certainly hope this is the end of your computer problems! That little berry tree is adorable and the combination of stamp & die cut for your sentiment makes a lovely statement.

Your card is gorgeous! Love the berry tree! And don't think you are alone when it comes to computer/electronic issues. Yesterday I could not get into my relatively new I-pad! I set up the house with wi-fi, two phones, one old I-pod, and my DH pad was all on wi-fi. It took me an hour along with a password I have never used other than on the air printer! Frustration, to say the least!!
