Hey there! The stamp set I used for today's project was one I was instantly drawn to when I first saw the 2017 Holiday Catalog, but it's taken me until now to create with it. Sometimes it's just hard to get to do all of the stamping you want to do, but I'm glad I finally inked it up! I combined this bundle with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper to carry the musical theme. I kept my colors classic: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and a hint of Garden Green.

I stamped the greeting with black ink on Whisper White, then cut with a Stitched Shapes oval Framelit. I added the mistletoe sprays after cutting with Garden Green ink to get my spacing right. Mistletoe berries are sort of translucent white, so I added just a hint of glow to them with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I cut a scalloped oval to mat behind the image from Cherry Cobbler using a Layering Ovals Framelit.

Of course I had to add the Silver Foil french horn, cut with a Musical Instruments Framelits die. I cut a thin (1/8" wide) sliver of Garden Green card stock; distressing and separating the layers so I could tie it around the end for just a hint more of color.

Inside I stamped the Sheet Music background with stamped-off Smoky Slate before adding the Musical Season sentiment with Basic Black ink.

I added the "little drummer boy", cut from Basic Black card stock using another Musical Instruments framelit.

The Musical Season stamp set and Musical Instruments Framelits Dies are on the Holiday Catalog Retiring List and will no longer be available to order after January 2nd. They ARE while supplies last, so they could be gone sooner! The bundles of this set & dies is also retiring, so if you are a music lover or just love the little drummer boy, you need to order right away!
