Morning friends!
Hard to believe in just 6 more sleeps, it will be Christmas.
I'm. Not. Ready!
Just 3 weeks ago, I was going full steam ahead and 3/4 of the way finished ....
and then hit a wall.
December is just TOO busy!
But, one important reminder I had this holiday season
was to think (way) outside the box
and creating a card that was not in my comfort zone.
and creating a card that was not in my comfort zone.
I needed a card for someone close to me that hasn't had it easy ...
nothing has been handed to her and life has been hard.
And she's not the sunshine and unicorns and rainbows type of girl!
She does, however, enjoy skulls and crossbones :)
I thought of a perfect card for her using the Prickley Pear
sugar skull stamp set (Day of the Dead) and matching die
sugar skull stamp set (Day of the Dead) and matching die
and my watercolors for a bright pop of painted color.
The vellum was a perfect way to add a sentiment
yet keep the integrity of the splash watercolors in tact ~
as well as create a perfect pocket for the ornament on the inside!
The inside of the card - with the ornament
I don't know if she will have a tree at her little place she calls home.
But I want her to know she's thought of ♥
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
