Today the Bloom Brigade is going into the crafty woodlot and creating with the fabulous new “Bottlebrush Holiday” stamp collection. This set just makes me giddy… there are so many cute images with the bottlebrushes PLUS there is a ton of great sentiments too! It’s a favourite for the holidays for sure!
For my card today, I knew I wanted to work with a non-traditional holiday colour scheme so I found this cute ornate swirly patterned paper from Authenique and it was red, cream, white and light blue in colour so that was my starting point.
I used some rich Memento “Rhubarb Stalk” ink to stamp the adorable “HO” images and then added some shading to the wreathes and the H’s using Copic Markers. A cute little light blue bow and my card was complete!
Now join the remainder of the Bloom Brigade with me and take a stroll on over to all of their blogs. I know you won’t regret it at all!
