Happy December!

Wow. I can't believe it's December already. I really can't. In fact, I can't believe it's Wednesday already! I feel like Thanksgiving was just yesterday, but we're just blowing past it - so much so, that it's a big blur now. I must be getting old. ha! (I know I am, actually.)

I wanted to pop in and share a Christmas card I made. My poor little blog was neglected over the long weekend. I'm still trying to catch up around the house after being out of town for several days.

I love this little card I made with a classic favorite of mine by Avery Elle, Winter Wreath.

 
The kraft background panel is stamped with MFT Sketched Chevron Background stamp and die cut using Blueprints 13. After stamping the wreath, I die cut it using the Stitched Circle STAX. The berries are stamped in second generation MFT Blueberry ink and I then drew the little black dots on with a journaling pen. Pretty quick and simple one to make! And, I love the clean but rustic look.
 
I'm playing along with a few challenges for fun.
