TCM:: Christmas Blessings


Welcome to the second day of The Craft's Meow Holiday Release. Today we are debuting a set called Christmas Blessings, designed by yours truly.

The Craft's meow

For my card today I stamped one of the two silhouette images and sentiment and coupled that with some patterned paper banners for a quick and easy card. For added interest, I switched up the typical holiday red with pink, and added a pink nose to the deer. The silhouette images were designed with a slight, rustic texture, and I love how they turned out!

Please stop by The Craft's Meow Blog for more inspiration, as well as for a chance to win this set!
