Pink and Green Christmas





Jeanne updated our badge so it might be easier to know what the current challenge is. 
Love it and thanks Jeanne.

The DT was asked to emboss with a die . I love doing this anyway .
I use Serendipity Stamps beautiful Bird Die and the Peace Small stamp for this card. I used the tale of the bird for my banner at the edge. I also used LID for the stitched edge… Its almost a staple for me. I also used my new rulers from Perfect Paper Crafting to get a very fine frame around my embossed white paper.
I hope you find some time to play along. 


Thank you for all your kind words , thoughts and prayers for Olga and our family. 

  I decided to make this card for another challenge as well:Merry Monday  Not my normal color scheme but a fun one.

Free Shipping on all US orders of $10 or more.   This is a great chance to snap up the stamps from the Wood Mounted Stamp sale and to throw in some grab bags.  Good through 3/26.
