Wednesday Stamper
This week's Wednesday Stamper theme is "pattern", and my first Christmas card in 2008 is a feast of black and white pattern, beginning with the background paper which was part of a wonderful RAK from Rosie!
The "Merry Christmas" stamp is from PSX, and the three tea-folds-turned-inchies are made from the four tiny square blocks within a block, which are part of the architectural stamp set from Layers of Color. If you are interested in how I made these, you can find my video tutorial by clicking HERE. Because this is a scan, and not a photo, it's hard to see the dimension in these tiny, snowflake-like designs, but they are definitely 3-D!
A New House
No, I'm not living in a new house; I received one from a friend! Pauline, who was part of the wonderful row house swap hosted by Jeri earlier this year, thought it would be nice for us to swap houses personally, since neither of us received houses from each other as part of the main swap. I received Pauline's in the mail today, all the way from Malta! Isn't this the most cheerful bit of Halloween art you've ever seen? I LOVE it!! Click HERE to see more of Pauline's lovely work! Be patient, Pauline! I'm still working on yours. . .
If you are interested in seeing the other houses that I received in the swap, as one as the houses I made, you can take a look by clicking HERE.
Have a great day, Everyone!
Your Christmas card looks fabulous!

That really works well as a Christmas card and your b/w combo has inspired me to use my Home Impressions stamps for a b/w Christmas. How very ingenious! TFS!! Glad you like the papers!!
