Sharon's known for her elegant, soft style...what a wonderful challenge for her to host!
I have been wanting to use the Thomas Kinkade stamps that I was so graciously gifted by a sweet friend for a while.
Shimmery white cardstock and some extra work on the ribbons take this up a notch, I hope. The main sentiment is embossed in Chocolate Chip craft ink, then the edges sponged with classic ink. The Merry Christmas is a Fancy Flexible Phrases sentiment off to the side...beautiful set, instant class.
Thanks for looking!
P.S. I 'lifted' the ribbon tying off the end from Michelle Wooderson (she ROCKS!).
