Noel

Have you ever had an idea for a card and when you tried to put the idea on cardstock you thought you were crazy?  Well that was me with this card.  I got the idea a while ago that I wanted to see if I could create a word like Joy or Noel with the Ornamental Vine stamp from DeNami.  When I saw the theme for this challenge I was excited to put my idea on paper.  I used the Water Lily stamp to create a poinsettia for the O in Noel (for a tutorial on how to do that go here) and then used my trusty Stamp-a-majig to do the rest of the work.  It took a while to get it just right but I am pleased with the end result.  I used Versmark to stamp the Ornamental Vine on the poinsettia and the background for a subtle finishing touch.  I won these two stamps awhile back from my friend Lisa and I am having so much fun with them!  Thanks for the blog candy Lisa!  Maybe one of these days I will use these stamps in a traditional way ;)  Thanks for stopping by!

I also wanted to enter this card in the Wee Memories challenge this week.  The theme is anything goes.  Sweet!  I love that theme!
