Charlene (LilLuvsStampin), the hostess with the mostess, challenged our little Double Dog Dare Challenge group to make a card with a Christmas theme, to use Brocade Blue on the card, and to use Julee Tilman's Mojo sketch Challenge #45 found here: http://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/s.../Mojo%20Monday
I am staying true to my personal challenge to use all my stamps at least once this year (It was this summer but I am running out of time!) I used a 2000 SU set called Beary Merry Christmas. The image was stamped with Brilliance black and colored with copics. The dp is by Daisy d's, Nestabilities were used to cut the sentiment layers, and Martha Stewart Punch was used for the scallops. TFL!!
