JAI #279 : STAMPIN' UP!'S JOYFUL SEASON

We have a great sketch challenge, courtesy of Narelle, at Just Add Ink this week.

I have inked up, for the first time, my new Joyful Season stamp set.  I have long been a fan of cardinals - birds we don't see in Australia - so this was a must-have set for me.  Being photopolymer, it is super-easy to line up the solid images and line images.  Once I'd stamped the bird, branch and berries on Very Vanilla card, I used my Circles framelits to cut the main piece.  While the card was still inside the circle die, I sponged Crumb Cake ink inside the edge of the die; once lifted, it left a thin border of uninked Very Vanilla card. 

Take a look at the GORGEOUS new Home For Christmas enamel dots in our range!!  I've always had a weakness for enamel dots, so I'm thrilled we have these Christmassy ones to craft with.

Listed below are all the lovely Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you'd like to purchase them from my online store, you can click on any of the thumbnail images.

Make sure you check out the beautiful creations of the rest of the talented Just Add Ink Design Team.  We would love to see you playing along with our challenge this week!
