Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  This month I am following Jean McNulty's Blog.   We have over 50 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.   If you lose your place while traveling through our hop, a complete list of hoppers can be found here.
                                                                                                                
The November Stamp of the Month is entitled Illuminate (S1311) (Set of 15). Here is a picture of this stamp set:

I am loving the beautiful lamps, lamp post, and sentiments on this stamp set.  I am going to use it for a Christmas card.  I believe that the sentiment will work.

Here is my card:

I used the Sparkle and Shine Paper Pack (X7176B).  The edges are all ink distressed with our Slate Ink.  I stamped my images with our Black Pigment Ink.  Such a beautiful, intense image it gives.  I colored the lamp with our Juniper Marker (Z2403) and applied some Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel (Z1313) over it so it would appear to be illuminated.  Then I added 3 red sparkles at the top and 3 pennants made of our Red Shimmer Trim (Z1848).

I used this card pattern from The Paper Players and will be linking this card to their challenge.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to leave me a comment and then please go to our next artist, Michelle Loncar's Blog.
