It's time for the June installment of Keeping Christmas with The Challenge design team! For this month's card, I used stamps from
Verve Stamps, owned by the team's own Julee Tilman. Verve will be closing its doors in just a few days and I will definitely miss it! So, with that in mind, I picked some of my holiday favorites from Verve for this month's card.
I went with the adorable Jolly Jingles set for my design. I colored the stocking pair with Copic markers, then cut out the colored images with the matching Winter Friends dies. To give the images a whimsical touch, I dotted on some silver Liquid Pearls. While the dots dried, I assembled the rest of the card. The sentiment was stamped on a white panel that I matted on gold paper. I positioned the panel on a vintage-feeling sage green patterned paper panel, angling it for interest. I added a strip of red satin ribbon across the top left corner of the panel, tucking the ends behind the panel's back. A simple bow, made with my Bow Easy, was added on top of the ribbon. Once I was sure that the Liquid Pearls accents stockings were dry, I used foam tape to add them to the panel to finish the card.
Don't miss what the rest of our team has created to inspire you to
