Jazz It Up Monday!

Here's the card we made yesterday at my monthly Stamp-a-stack.

Yes it's beautiful and graceful and perfect just how it is. LOL. But of course I need to Jazz it up a little so I added a brad, library clip and extra cardstock.

Here's the new and improved version.


 I also added snow on the tree with a white gel pen. Only thing that I would change would be to make the tree darker. After stamping a bunch of cards on the whisper white ink it made the trees a little lighter than the first one.

That's it for today. I'm doing yard work and enjoying the sun. Hope you are doing something fun too.

Thanks for all the comments! It made my day. :)

I actually made a cut out into thick vellum so the paper wouldn't get soggy from doing 50 or so cards. It's reusable. I like it because you can also mask off edges of cards to do the smooch spray. I'm sure you could use window sheets for it too.
