Stamping INKSpirations December 2023 Blog Hop - Sounds Of The Season

Welcome to the Stamping INKspirations December 2023 Blog Hop!

Our theme for this month is Sounds Of The Season. I am a total Christmasaholic. My Christmas decorations go up before Thanksgiving and don't get put away until after the New Year. There was a change this year though. We have a great grandson who just turned 1 year old and we babysit a couple of times a week. So I did not put out any of the decorations that sat on the floor. So the sounds of the season, Christmas music, is played while I am decorating and in my SUV when I have to go out. Growing up I was always in the choir, both at church and at school and still love to sing along when there is a Christmas song playing.

The card I am sharing today I CASED from both Tammy Wilson's & Tammy Hewlett's Merriest Trees blog posts. The card base is Pretty Peacock Cardstock. the card front is Basic White Cardstock the has been embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I used Pretty Peacock & Granny Apple Green Inks on Basic White Thick Cardstock and Blending Brushes for the tree on the left. I love this coloring technique. The garland & the star have been die cut with the Merriest Trees Dies on Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer Paper (this was an Online Exclusives product). The sentiment and the edges of the tree on the right have been heat embossed with gold embossing powder from the Metallic's Stampin' Emboss Powders. Both of the trees have been popped up on the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Basic Rhinestones to both trees.

🎶We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎶

Now it is time to hop along to your next Sound Of The Season INKspiration blog stop.
