Season's Greetings

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I created a holiday themed design mixing stamps from Avery Elle with dies from Lil' Inker Designs.

I stamped the pretty mixed font "season's greetings" sentiment from Avery Elle's Christmas Cheer stamp set on an oval panel in red ink, then matted the stamped panel on a slightly larger blue oval.  The sentiment was adhered to a piece of wintery patterned paper using foam tape.  The dimension from the foam tape allowed me to easily slip the die cut silver snowflakes beneath opposite edges of the raised oval.  I matted the patterned panel on red cardstock, then adhered it to a blue card base to match the mat beneath the sentiment panel.

Materials Used:
Christmas Cheer stamp set (Avery Elle); Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Blue Bayou and Riding Hood Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Wintertime-Snow designer paper (Echo Park); oval dies (Spellbinders); snowflake dies (Lil' Inker Designs); foam tape
