Merry Christmas Card II (LMMS Inspiration)

Merry Christmas!! :o)


It's Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Week and I made this one layer, Merry Christmas II Card. :o)

For my card I used a super cute image LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Polka Dot Pals Brianna' digital stamp. Look at that puppy... adorable!! :o)

I also used a font I downloaded from dafont, Impact Label Font. Love it!! :o)
Important: Read licences before downloading.

I made a layout on my computer and printed it out directly on a card base, for which I used Canson XL Mixed Media 300 g Paper.

I watercolored the image with Distress Inks and highlighted some parts with withe gel pen. Then I printed a sentiment on a white cardstock paper, cut it out, colored edges with black marker and got lovely label, as if I had label maker. I glued 3-D foam on the label and placed it on the card.

Lastly, I embellished the card with enamel dots and my card was finished. :o)
