wplus9 winter card

I admit to using a Valentine's stamp set to make this holiday card! If you look closely you'll see that the trees are the hearts found in WPlus9's Heartfelt Mix stamp set...and the ground and the stumps are the clothesline and clothespin images, respectively, from the same set! The sentiment comes from their Winter Wishes collection.




I stamped the images using A Muse Studio inks in Grass and Nutmeg; the sentiment was stamped using Raspberry Fizz from PTI. The patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Holiday Style line and Bitty Box Basics from PTI (top pink edge). I added the rhinestones and twine and called it a night!




As Christmas gets closer I am kind of sad that I will have to put away all my holiday stuff, but happy that my Heartfelt Mix will still be used as we get closer to Valentine's Day.

I hope all your holiday preparations are coming together smoothly and that you have a wonderful time this weekend with your family and friends!
