Happy Christmas Girl With Ornament card

 

This is another sweet stamp from Polka Doodles to celebrate the holiday season.  Since there was so many colors, I went for a plain back with a muted pattern.  I added some Glitter Snow to her hat for texture.

Thankful For You Gnome card

 

Happy Thanksgiving!  Although Thanksgiving definitely looks different this year by spending it alone due to Covid, I am still thankful for so many things.  One of those things is that I get to spend time making cards.  I find it so relaxing and rewarding knowing people are happy to receive them and purchase them from me to give to their loved ones.
