12 Days of Christmas 2023 blog hop with Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers and Brenda Nelson of Stamps and Strechy Pants sharing Christmas crafting projects.

We are at it again with day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas! Today I am sharing a simple card made with the Festive & Fun stamp set to have fun with coloring. I hope you have been enjoying the projects my friend Brenda Nelson from Stamps & Stretchy Pants and I have been sharing to get you ready for your holiday creating!

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas with Melanie Hockin from Mel's Inky Fingers and Brenda Nelson from Stamps & Stretchy Pants. Card created with the Festive & Fun stamp set, Deckled Rectangles Dies, and Beary Christmas designer series paper. Card designed by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

Today’s project is simple, but is perfect to take a little time to color. I used Stampin’ Blends Markers, but you could use your favorite coloring medium. Watercolor pencils would be great too! I pulled in lots of colors to make this project festive & fun – just like the name of the stamp set!

What I like about line art stamps, is you can use any colors you have on hand to color and create a custom image. And each time you can mix up colors to make it look totally different.
