Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas / April 2023

April is almost over and our weather here in Virginia Beach has been one extreme to the next - 80 degrees for a few days this past week, and temps in the 40's this coming week. But I guess the cooler temps are perfect for making a holiday card .. I had some holiday music playing on my laptop as I wrote my blogpost and it put me right in the holiday spirit !!

I used another favorite stamp from Art Impressions - Christmas Village Window . This collection of stamps is so easy to color and the wide variety of designs is fabulous. 

• I stamped the image on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink .
• The stamped image was colored with my COPICS.
• Fine clear glitter was used to highlight the edges of the rooftops .
• I matted the stamped image with a piece of dark blue paper.
• I placed the completed stamped panel on a piece of patterned paper from  the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pad by Spellbinders .
• A white card base was used for this card .
