A Merry Christmas To You from WMS



I'm back today with a card that features a sentiment from Very Vintage Christmas by WMS. I love Claire's stamps and hope to spend more time in 2012 exploring all of the creative options her stamp sets give you.  This is such a bold sentiment that I decided to keep this card clean and simple (CAS) with little to no fuss. A secondary reason is that it is going to my mom and Alzheimer's patients are not allowed cards with objects that they (or other residents) could potentially swallow. I hope the pearls make it through the security check though as she is aware of what they are and why they are on the card but we'll see.

I stamped the image onto Choice Buttercream then fussy cut it out and popped it up on foam dots to create some dimension. A wonky rectangle was die cut from aqua cardstock and a Jolly by Golly dp brings in the color factor. Four bliss pearls and a red grosgrain ribbon add some spark and this is an easy card to mass produce, which I'll remember for next year. ;)

Have an awesome day and happy crafting!

Good morning!
This is spectacular for CAS. The dp is wonderful and the green 'wonky' really lets the bold sentiment stand out perfectly. :)
Gorgeous card for your mom and I do hope it passes security check. :)
Have a WONDERFUL day!
I've got my fingers crossed that my dd will make it through the day today so that I can go out and finally shop, in the rain of course, but shop nonetheless. :D I took your advice, it will get done...it always does.

HUGS!
