Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Merry Christmas

It's time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop and today the theme is Merry Christmas.  It's definitely getting close now!  Hard be believe!

I used the Stampin' Up! Painted Season Collection for my card today and created it as part of a recent Sketch Challenge.  First, here's the sketch it was based on.


Now for my card.  I love the colours of Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent and they were perfect for this card.  The Painted Season Designer Series Paper is so pretty!  What do you think?

                              1. Thanks. I used Microsoft Word and use Shapes - that way you can make them the correct size.
