Day four of class the theme is, one layer cards.  I flunk out on card number one.  The teacher, Jennifer McGuire, cheated by putting a teeny tiny heart on the inside of her card so I cheated BIG!  LOL

I did the partial die cutting which is a lesson I really need to work on  therefore I get a c+ for effort.  I had already colored in my Ugly Sweater so I did just glue that over the spot that I had partially die cut.  Then on the inside Jennifer made a stencil and did some distress inking.  Here was my problem.  She was using a cute little animal that really looked good with a sky background.  No matter what color I put behind my sweater... not a good look.   I used the larger die and black card stock and glued it to the inside.  The sentiment comes from the SSS Ugly Sweater set and the Join Us comes from a Raisin Boat set and the little poinsetta stamp is also from the Ugly Sweater set.  Wink of Stella and a corner chomper and I was done.

Confession.... I love Christmas Sweaters! 


Update on my son.. his surgery went well and he is recovering nicely.  Thank you for your prayers.
