Fa La La Lights

Good morning!  There is a fun new week-long linky party on the BYSHC blog and I'm playing along.  All you need to do is make a holiday or wintry card and enter it into the linky party.  I love making Christmas cards, so I cranked out several cards to share with you throughout this week.

I pulled out the Layered String Lights stencils from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) and brushed green and red inks over these onto some white cardstock.  There is some space between the lights and it's perfect for a small sentiment, so I stamped the large "fa la la" (Concord & 9th) with black ink onto some white cardstock, trimmed it, and layered it with some black cardstock.  Then I used that as a guide for the sub-sentiment so I could center it and stamped it between the two lower strands of lights.  I'm so happy that it worked out!
