I hope you all had a great weekend! I am looking forward to the short week, and then Thanksgiving dinner. YUMMY! Tgiving pie

Sending Joy

Here’s a fun, clean design using Karen Lockhart’s Christmas Light and Ribbon of Lights.

I stamped the images on Cryogen white, then colored with my Copic markers. I cut and embossed the oval with my Spellbinders die, then airbrushed some warm yellow around the lightbulb. I stamped the sentiment, (PaperTrey) then matted it with a scalloped black panel. I love the way Debbie has been tying her ribbon, so I tried it on this card. I really like the way the ribbon looks. Thanks for your inspiration, Deb! :) I added Stickles to the small lights, and the highlight of the bigger bulb, then covered it with Crystal Effects, and set aside to dry overnight.

For a finishing touch, I added 3 olive colored Dew Drops. A few of you asked if these would be OK to send through the mail. I don’t think it would be a problem. When I mail cards with brads, etc. I cut a panel of SU! white to standard size, and lay that on top of the card before I slide it in the envelope. It makes it less bumpy in the envelope. Hope that helps!

Have a great day today! Check back tomorrow for another spectrum Kinkade design. :D
