Hello Everyone,
I am here tonight with a card for my son this Christmas. I was excited when I saw the theme for the current
Festive Friday Challenge #15 which is to create a holiday project with a Children's theme. Here is the inspiration photo:
Last year during a sale after Christmas I purchased a sweet stamp of a little boy decorating the Christmas Tree from Lili of the Valley stamps in the UK. This was the stamp that came to mind when I saw the challenge theme. I knew I would make a card for my son this year for Christmas using this stamp...and here it is....
I am slowly trying to learn how to shade and blend using Copics but I am a rank amateur compared to the many experts I am enjoying watching over on You Tube. I think this stamp is adorable and it reminds me so much of my son decorating the tree with my husband and I when he was little. I loved the way all the ornaments would be put on the lowest branches of the tree by him! It was so sweet to watch the glow in his eyes as he gazed at all of the neat ornaments he was putting on the tree - many that he and I had spent hours painting and glittering while Papa was at work. This stamp brings back those very precious memories to me! What a blessing!
Thanks for taking a look at my card! I hope you get a chance to join in these lovely holiday card making challenges over at Festive Friday!
:) Jill
