Measurements: From the top…Squares – 1 5/16” square plus 1/8” border, green dot designer paper - 3 15/16 x 2 ½”, hunter green border punch panel – 4 1/8 x 3 1/8”
-The images are solid stamps with 1/16” punched circles glued on and stickles added to the circles. Those tiny punched circles pick up very easily with a straight pin dipped in glue then touch the circle back which picks it up and press onto the card…super fast and easy!
-To tone down the white on the image panels I used a coarse 4” square sponge, pressed onto the ink pad then onto the panel one time and lifted, that was just enough to make it match up to the off white in the plaid.
-Stickles was also added to the designer paperÂ…while I was on the phone with my friend and I wanted something to do after the card was finished!

I can't believe you punched out and added all those little bitty circles! Talk about the patience of a saint. Love this design but I really think those little circles add such a wonderful finishing touch! TFS!

Holiday Blocks is one of those sets that I had a lot of fun with and shouldn't have sold. You have made a really festive card with them and it just makes me want a candy cane. Pretty card! Thank you for the sketch too! It was fun.
