Siehled With A Kiss: Thursday Sparks Challenge12/12

Happy Thursday,

The weekend is here! Oh I can hardly wait!! I have so many things to do because we start going to holiday family parties next week and I have to finish my shopping! YIKES!! Are you ready for the holidays?

I am playing along with the Paper Smooches Sparks weekly challenge this week and this week we had a photo inspiration. I totally LOVE these. Here is look at the inspiration:

I stuck pretty close to the inspiration for my card.

I started with some Core'dinations Dark Essentials for my base and then took the new 110lb. white smooth cardstock and cut it slightly smaller. I stamped my images (using all Paper Smooches stamps) and colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers. Under the sentiment I scored the cardstock. I also then "roughed" up my edges just to give it a bit of a distress look. Why did I do this? I don't know- LOL!!!
