Today's challenge..Audrie gave us the inspiration site of Angela. This is what caught my eye. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/426716133422912938/
Starting my Christmas cards....since they will need to be done in the next two weeks. My thought is to make a card personal without being a picture card. Using Angela's pin and one that showed this stamp set used in a rustic style thought about how can it be made numerous times , and not too time consuming.
First...cut out ten card fronts out of the craft paper. With my misti stamped the wood bg. Next did the ten sleds, painted with the reinker and white acrylic paint...did the tree..attached the window die...painted the windows. Splattered with a toothbrush the acrylic paint that was thinned with water. Now to get the personalized part included on the card....took my Christmas list and typed the names. Spaced them so Warm Wishes could be stamped above them. After making two cards....it really went fast. Added the tiny bow. TFL

OMGoodness, I love this warm scene of a kid's sled outside and a warm fire inside (I imagine) with a Christmas tree ready to be decorated! I am sure the kid is inside drinking a nice cup of coco mom made to warm Himself/herself up!! Even though it looks really cold, it is such a nice warm scene!
