Wow, Collette, what a challenge, collage using at least 4 stamps. I figured the easiest to do would be Christmas since I have so many and need more cards. The colors were inspired by what was on my stamping table.
I started by stamping french script and linen bg in sahara sand on sahara sand cs, then the Baroque Motifs swirl on the bottom in olive. Next I stamped the snowflakes in sahara, then off stamped them in versamark embossing them in white. I wanted to get the cherry cobbler in so I added the mistletoe stamp from Peaceful Wishes in 3 corners. Finally I added the Peace stamp ($! Michael's) in sahara sand. To finish it up I sponged in sahara and cherry, ticket punched the corners adding mini brads and the ribbons.
I had planned on putting a sentiment on but decided against it since I like the bg so much. I'm so happy with these I plan on making more. I'll change the position of the Peace stamp for those.
Thanks for stretching me, Collette!

This is absolutely beautiful. I love everything about it. Wish I had that Peace stamp. Can't always find the Michael's ones. That is a really pretty one.
