Hello! If you've come from Nancy's Blog then you're hopping in the right direction! If not, head back over to Emma's Blog to start at the beginning. I can almost hear you saying, "um, Nikki??? a brown Christmas card???" hehehehehe I only have brown felt and wanted to use this sentiment from the Mixed Holiday Sentiments sooooo I made a brown/kraft card ;) I used the awesome burlap stamp from the Build a Banner Kit to stamp my card base and the strip above the sentiment. I actually stamped the whole card front and it really looks cool!
I used the heart die that comes in the 100% Sweetness set to cut out the felt. Works like a charm! Sorry the pictures make the browns look different, I swear they're the same in real life! ;)
