I am still working on catching up with my downline cards. I was able to get the cute hostess set from the August-December minicatalogue on my last order, called A Merry Hello, and I was eager to use it before Christmas has come and gone. I paired the set with the beautiful Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper that made a comeback this year, to my delight. The stamp set has not been translated, so I went to another Holiday set to get a French sentiment (from the Poinsettia Petals set), that reads, "May your holidays be filled with magic and wonder." I used little branches from the Poinsettia dies and the Mini-Curvy Keepsakes Box dies. To make the stockings more interesting, I used an Aqua Painter brush to color some of the details using Soft Seafoam ink, I added ribbon from the All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack to line the cardstock, and a few glitter enamel dots.
I am really liking the look of the Real Red, Garden Green and Soft Seafoam together. Classic red and green combo, but the soft green and vanilla adds a nice softness and vintage feel to the final result.
