Essentials by Ellen November 2017 Mix It Up Challenge with My Favorite Things

I had the idea in mind to use the cute My Favorite Things Mermazing stamp set in a Christmas card scene, so this month's Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up Challenge with MFT was the perfect time to give it a go.  I'm also entering this in the Send A Smile 4 Kids current challenge, Holiday Cards for Kids.  Most of my kid's Christmas cards are donated to SAS4Kids, an organization that supports children's hospitals around the country with handmade cards for pediatric patients.

The background is stamped with the EBE starburst stamp from the Merry and Bright set by Julie Ebersole.  I wanted a light background to minimize the white edges on the die cut pieces, so I stamped it with MFT Sno Cone dye ink.  The little Christmas tree and Merry Christmas sentiment are from the EBE Bear Ware 2 set, again by Julie Ebersole.  I stamped and fussy cut the two Christmas hats from the MFT Jingle All the Way set.  All of the other pieces are from the MFT Mermazing set.  

The card is embellished with clear Wink of Stella, a clear glitter pen and Star Dust Stickles.  A bit of Glossy Accents on the turtle's shell gives him a nice sheen.

EBE Merry & Bright stamp

EBE Bear Ware 2 stamps and die

MFT Jingle All the Way stamps

MFT Sno Cone Dye Ink
