A Christmas Gift

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  We are having gorgeous, fall-like weather right now and I am loving it!  I'm heading out in a bit, but before I go, I wanted to share the card I made for a few challenges I like to do.  It is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday #170, Elisabeth Bell's World August/September Challenge (make a Christmas card without using a Christmas stamp) and Simon Says Stamp (put a stamp on it - must use stamped image).

Here is SSW-170:


Here is my card:


I used GKD Fresh Asparagus for my card base and mats and layered with patterned papers from the Melissa Francis Deck The Halls 6x6 pad.  My adorable non-Christmas image is Party Present by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps. I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored him with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some shimmery cream seam binding and three poinsettias (Hero Arts Felt Poinsettias and Leaves) finished my card.

Here is a close-up:


Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and I hope to see you again soon!
