Hope you all are doing well??? It's been a super busy week.....I shopped a lot (some x-mas and som just for me!!!), took a trip with my friend Penny up to Atlanta to meet some stampin' friends.....I will post about this trip tomorrow!!!
My hubby was not feeling well - poor guy was hit hard with some serious allergy attacks!!! Needless to say he was miserable and I took over the Ledlow Fort - LOL!!!
Thank goodness it's weekend and after taking some heavy duty allergy meds my hubby is doing much better too!!!!
Anyway - I know you are here for the OCC Challenge....today Jennifer has created a combo *postcard Sketch/Inspiration* Challenge. You can get inspired by either or!!!
I went with the Sketch.....The front of my postcard looks like this.
The reason I used the beautiful Blessed Christmas Set from Our Daily Bread Designs.....is....it was inspired by the IC206 - Lorelie Kay Designs.
This super gorgeous *red brooch* caught my eye and I decided to use the poinsettia image for it!!! The image was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. After coloring the image I added some Pearl Glimmer Mist.
The frame of my postcard was punched out with the new Martha Stewart Scallop 3-Dot Combo Punch.
Here is a picture of the mailing side....very plain, but it serves the purpose!!! I added the lines with a Black Marker....I still have some of the Clear Envelopes and I plan on mailing them this way!!!
Please make sure to check out all the samples over at the OCC Blog!!! I hope we have inspired you to play along!?!?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for stopping by!!!
