Another great sketch from Margaret Moody over at Pals Paper Arts this week.

Although I do love square cards, I made this one into a rectangle because I finally got a chance to play with Stampin’ Up’s new Hanukkah Stamp! Isn’t it super cute? I have to say that I didn’t particular like the way they hung the stars and dreidels off of the letters. It made them look a little too much like ornaments, if you know what I mean. Since I was using markers in different colors to ink up my stamp, I simply didn’t color the strings. That’s the great thing about markers on stamps — you can omit whatever you want!

Stamps: Hanukkah
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Other: Marina Mist Scalloped Dotted Ribbon, Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot

We’ll be making this card at Stacey’s holiday card workshop this weekend! I can’t wait!
