Using the House Mouse Mint Swing stamp, I stamped with Picket Fence Hybrid black ink and my MISTI and made several images. I colored with copic markers: E00,E21,E33,E53;and Prisma Colored pencils:908,909,922,924,946,1084. I then cut the images down and made a Double Z fold card using Karen Aicken's video. I used Bazzill cardstocks in Red Card Shop, and Carta Bella 6x6 pad of "Christmas Wonderland" (beautiful vintage style from 2015) papers mixing and matching. Using my We R Memories small scoreboard and Fiskars 12" trimmer to cut and score the lines of every paper, it came together nicely. The "Merry Christmas" is a Sizzix die that I used with all of my left over cardstock from the cards. I am able to do most of this while recouping from my foot surgery in a reclined position. Amazing how clever we get!! I hope you enjoy my early Christmas card and now I'm 3 cards more in my Christmas Card stash!!
