I have a lot of small Christmas stamps. I thought a layout that could utilize these small images would be useful.
I stamped and watercolored each image and then cut out with a square punch. The four square were layered on Real Red and put on a card base covered with DSP. Added a glitter heart and glistening "Happy"; and for finishing touch I used Wink of Stella over the four images. It's so sparkly IRL.
I love all the Christmas trimmings and the lights. The decorations that take inspiration from nature are among my favorite and make me happy. Love some sparkle, too!
Have fun with the sketch! TFL

Your Christmas card is so fun and so festive Diane. You have colored these little images so nicely to coordinate with your bg paper. I really love the sparkly die cut sentiment and heart! ~Karen.

Cute card, great take on the sketch! I have 4 of those minis but haven't seen the pine bough or tree. I have a dove, bell and one that says peace hope love. Are they part of this set? Anyway, great use of those little stamps, will remember this!
