It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a Home Sweet Home Challenge!
Happy New Year! The Making Spirits Bright stamp set is not only perfect for the new year, but many occasions throughout the year. It's currently available from the Holiday Catalog, but that will end on January 5th. I have a PDF list of Holiday Catalog Items that will not be carried over. Print it out and look it over…see what's left on your wish list.
This card is pretty straight forward, but you might be wondering…how did she color the glasses? Good question, I wasn't sure it was going to work, but it work perfectly. I used a Blender Pen with the Metallic Gold Encore Pad to color the glasses. I'm lovin' the results!
Enjoy~Dawn O
