DAY 2 OF STAMP SIMPLY CELBRATES***

The celebration continues*** Check out Darlene's site HERE for her 27 cent Challenge***

Dazzle your family and friends with a post-card Christmas card!! We all make beautiful cards that have ribbons and bows and doodads and whatnots on them so let's try making a post card size card that only takes 27 cents to mail (in the US that is) and that is a single layer - no dimension allowed... The legal postcard size is 4" x 6"...

Let's see what you come up with!!

Check out some of the great creations from CAT , DEE , and HEATHER *** LEANNE
and LESLIE . ***

Here's mine***



I stamped this great tree from Penny Black in versamark ink and embossed it with copper embossing powder.

I added a sentiment from Hero Arts.

I added stickles in all colors to the tree and edged the cream cardstock with tea dye distress ink and layered to a 4" x 6" piece of black cardstock.

The other side will have an address sticker on it for the recipient!!

Don't forget to check out Sharon's site for her blog candy offerings and also Becky over HERE for her Feature Project***
