It's never too early to start, right?!! I know it's a little difficult to think about Christmas when the temperatures are in the 100's (here in Texas), but today's JustRite Friday Challenge #027 can help you get a Christmas card design worked out well ahead of time AND you just might win a gift certificate that you could use to purchase some new JustRite Christmas stamps!
My sample is a 3" x 5" tag that can either be used as a card as is, applied to a card front, or used as a gift tag. I used JustRite's newly released 2" square From Our House set. Don't you love all the dimension this set has? The little framed 1.25" square center tree is one stamp and the beautiful swirling ribbon & holly border is a separate stamp ... what great possibilities!
I stamped the center tree by inking the tree and border separately with red and green inks, and then stamped the ribbon border with brown ink. Everything was colored with Copic markers (listed below) and die cut with Spellbinders Labels Three Nestabilities die, which matches the ribbon pattern perfectly!
I glittered the star tree topper and ornaments with transparent glitter. The "Winter Wishes" sentiment is a border from this same set -- I just inked one side of it and stamped it a few times. The snowflake topper is from Spellbinders Create A Flake One die set.
Are you in the Christmas spirit yet?!!
