If you've priced blank canvases, you know they can get expensive!  I found a picture that was discounted a lot (probably because it was UGLY!), but I liked the edges of it…hard to see but the sides have a finished scroll type of pattern.  I taped all the sides off, purchased some Matte finish spray paint in a Caramel color, then spray painted the front of the canvas, covering the picture that was on there.

When dry, I applied the Dasher Decor Elements.  I love how the Chocolate Chip color POPS against the Caramel color.  The lighter So Saffron background is my wall.  He also comes in Black, White and Real Red which would be fun for the holidays, too!  It's not too late to gather some orders and put together your own show to earn this Level 2 Hostess Gift…contact me today!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sorry I'm so late getting my post up today!  I got involved with doing some paperwork and the morning rushed by…and half the afternoon!

Mercy has a cute sketch challenge today and I thought I'd play along.  My card also fits my design team Late Night Stampers' My Favorite Holiday challenge.  Of course, my favorite holiday is Christmas, along with many other people!

I decided to use a 3×6 finished card size.  These fit in Stampin' Up!'s Open End Envelopes perfectly and go thru the postal system.  I've had Stampin' Up!'s Dasher stamp set for a while, but I think I've only used him a couple times.  He was calling out my name today.  This came together so quick and easy, I think I may make up some for my holiday cards this year!  I have my main ones 95% done, but I like to send out different ones to my husband's work people

I started with a base of Real Red card stock cut to 6×6 and then folded in half for the 3×6 size.  I stamped Dasher with Soft Suede Classic Ink on Whisper White card stock and layered it on Soft Suede card stock.  I put a strip of the holly print from Christmas Cocoa Designer Paper (yummy!)…great way to use up those scraps!  I stamped the trio of snowflakes from the Hostess Level 2 stamp set, Christmas Punch, with the BoHo Blossoms punch (did you know that matched???)  I layered it on a 1" circle punch of Soft Suede and placed a small Red Rhinestone Brad in the center.  It is popped up with dimensionals on the card.  Finally, I stamped Christmas Greetings in the Grateful Greetings Stamp Set with Soft suede ink.
