Now let's talk about this weeks challenge. Here is the sketch,
and here is the card I created with the stamp sets Where You Should Be and Season of Joy.
I have a seen a lot of Christmas village stamp sets recently, and thought the same look could be created using {ippity} stamps. So I pulled out this wonderful stamp set - Where You Should Be and used the houses in this set to create my Christmas village. I stamped the images on watercolor paper then used watercolor paints to color the houses. To create the holiday feel, I created small swags from a paper punch then added white Flower Soft and small red berries. I then added more Flower Soft around the houses to create the look of a Christmas village. I really like it when you can take an everyday stamp set and use it for multiple purposes, such as holiday projects.
I can't wait to see what projects everyone creates based on this week's sketch. If you need a little {ippity}, please check out my {ippity} store, Ippity Stamps and Ink to view the full {ippity} collection.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have fun creating!

Hi Susan,
what a wonderful card! I love it!
It's for christmas?
I had read, that a blizzard come over Massachusetts - I hope, you are okay? Blizzard in October - it's incredible.
Is this normal?
Here in the South of Germany it's foggy in the morning, but sometimes in the afternoon the sun is shining.
Take care and have a nice week,
Natalie
