Hello Crafty Friends! It’s time for another installment of Get Cracking on Christmas hosted by Jenn Shurkus. Every month on the 3rd Thursday we are here with fresh inspiration for you! Don't miss Jenn's LIVE on youtube June 17th at 8pm ET. www.youtube.com/jennshurkus where she will have a demo on how she put together her card for this month!   And stay tuned for a very special Get Cracking next month for our Christmas in July event. You wont want to miss it!

This months card features some Avery Elle stamps & dies. I just love the little peekaboo critters. When i saw this little Cocoa Stand I just had to have it. 

For these images I used my Tombow markers. I have really been enjoying using them lately. This time I used the blender pen instead of water. I was surprised at how well the blender works. I stamped them on Bristol which I feel is the best paper to use with these. I just get the best blend on it. For the background I used some white heavystock from Tim Holtz and blended on some Salvaged Patina distress ink with a blender brush over 2/3rds of the background. I just love the blending on this paper. 

Don't forget to hop along and see the rest of the inspo here, see you next month!
