Yaaaahhhhooooooo I love love LOVE Falliday Fest!!!!
Thank you, Lisa, for the Nutcracker inspiration! The ballet has always made me think of the beautiful, blue twinkle sparkle and glitter emits in the sunshine, sort of as does glass, only with more emphasis. When I think of the beautiful ballerinas in the dance, it seems there's always a good amount of glitter, too - whether in makeup or sprinkled on their tutus. (I always wanted to be a ballerina. True story. But I'm a klutz; instead, I dance with horses. )
For this month's Teapotter Tickle, I was inspired by the blown glass âeoetreeâe Sabrina shared as one of her shortened list of options. Immediately I thought of this beloved stamp set. (Ohhhh, how I pined after it as a 18-20 something when I saw it, eager to save up for my very own!!!). I'm excited this card will go to someone who might know a thing or two about winterâe¦ and the cold, like the icy blue in this card! Lol
And for this week's sketch challenge- thank you and AMEN for an example of why I love sketch challenges so much - you have an idea and don't know how to put it together and then, with a sketch to guide, WHAM - you've got something started!!!
Thank you for the fun and thank you for looking!
Blessings,
Chrissy

Oh, ha. I knew instantly which was your inspiration. I made one over the weekend because I KNEW that stamp works be perfect for it. I like the way you trimmed it down tight so the trees just fit in the panel. Beautiful background paper. I'd like wrapping paper like that.
