Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday.
I have such a fun image for you tonight. Up front... gotta tell you... I love this image :-)
I saw this great challenge across at Just Add Ink this week. I know a lot of people are doing "Christmas in July", but I just CANNOT think about Christmas just yet.. heck...summer has only just arrived. So..... when I saw the twist as JAI - I was thrilled! ETA..... Ooooooopsss..... I read the instructions incorrectly... .USE A BIRTHDAY SET FOR A CHRISTMAS CARD!!!! Oh... well.... I'll unhook it from the JAI site... but at least you get to see a fun image (insert red face smilie here!)
Now... my first real love (decades ago!) was born on December 24th - so I know a little about winter birthdays :-) Recently I purchased a Stamping Bella set called Reindeer and Birdie. I'm making cards for the charities I support and thought this stamp would be ideal - but... I realized it would also make a wonderful birthday card. Once I had stamped it and colored it, I realized this would be one of the key sets for our Christmas cards this year. I just LOVE it... Did I tell you that already? :-)
Here's the card:
Because I was using Copics to color, I stamped the image onto a piece of 80# Neenah Solar White and then adhered that to a Neenah Solar 110# base. That way the coloring doesn't bleed through to the card. The sentiment is from a Fiskars set that I bought ridiculously cheaply at JoAnns.
I hope you will pop along to the JAI website and check out the fabulous design and submission cards.
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
Card recipe:

Card is adorable. Such a cute stamp set. Wonderful coloring which makes the whole card come to 'life' sort a speak.
