Well, it rained enough today that we put off going camping for yet another day. The bright spot in the day came when the doorbell rang and a box of brand new SU goodies from the new catalogue was sitting there on the front deck.
What I can't quite believe is that I actually mounted all of the new stamps today - AND, get this, I actually stamped with one of the new sets - ON THE SAME DAY IT ARRIVED IN MY HOUSE! When I saw the sketch challenge posted tonight I chose the new set Beautiful Season. I just love the chickadees that hang around our yard so couldn't resist this set (even though I say "no more Christmas sets" every time a new catalogue is published).
Pretty straightforward - stamped, coloured, added some dazzling diamonds, did a little embossing and layered it all together.
Love this set.
PT: Oops. None on this one! But I used brand new stamps on the day I got them! No wonder I forgot to punch anything!

Oh, your card is gorgeous!! I love the colors and the black bg that really sets off your image panel. I love that embossing folder too - (wonder why I never use mine). Great job!!

I had to laugh at what you said, I could just HEAR myself talking...*no more Christmas sets, oh but this one with the chickadee is SO cute, okay, just one...*
Love your card, the embossing, colors and of course that beautiful cheery little chickadee!!

Great card, Heather! I just ordered that set and am waiting for it to arrive. I love what you've done with it! Great colors and layering. I like the embossed border around the bird.

This is absolutely darling. I am so jealous that you actually have started your Christmas cards. The image is wonderful-and good for you inking it up immediately. It's awesome.
