A Christmas Blessing

 

Today I am posting my card for the The Encore Challenge!  This is a monthly challenge to be posted on the 25th with a group of friends from my April Retreat.  Some may post on their blog and I will note those with blogs at the end of this post.  And, some might post on other social media. Darlene came up with this challenge and these are her words:  Go and grab a stamp set, stencil or dies--your choice, that you have used once before and have always wanted to revisit it and use it again.  However, despite your best intentions, you have yet to use it!  Now's your chance! Go dig it out and have fun with it once again.  Create anything you like, a card, gift card holder, decorate a gift bag, make a refrigerator magnet...whatever lights up your creative juices! So--Encore Challenge! 

My plan is to pick a different company each month to highlight and maybe even a different product than the month before.  For November,  I picked a stamp set from Verses Rubber Stamps called A Christmas Blessing. 

I decided to pick a sheet of 6x6 Christmas patterned paper to stamp the sentiment.  I decided on a Unity Stamp pack called Old Fashioned Holiday from the November 2023 Whit Kit.  I love the vintage images and picked one that had an open area to stamp.  I think the Christmas tree and chair in the corner is too cute.  I used Versafine Onyx Black ink as the wording is quite small in some areas.   I layered the panel on a Garden Green cardstock and added no bling!

I am not sure who will post each month on their blog, but this is a list of the other ladies who do have blogs.  Jeanette, Terry, Darlene.  Be sure to come back on December 25th to see another fun card for The Encore Challenge!
