It's been just about two weeks since I last shared a card here on my blog. My mojo took an extended vacation and I really hate when that happens! I was starting to think it would never come back this time - geez!
So today, I was determined to sit down and create something - anything! It felt so good to finally finish a card and actually LIKE the way it turned out!
I grabbed the Holiday Borders stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and white embossed it on a strip of red cardstock. I love red, white and kraft together, so the kraft was my card base. I gave it a spritz with some Mister Huey's, Opaque White Color Mist and added some adorable Lawn Fawn sequins and snowflakes. I punched out the extra numbers to add to one of the snowflakes, popping them up with dimensional adhesive.
I finished off the card by adding some baker's twine and stamping the Hero Arts sentiment, which is from their Holiday Tags set.
I'm really enjoying work right now - I love the festive feel at the store and the beautiful plants and bouquets we've got in the floral department! If I find the time, I'll try and take some photos to share with ya soon.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by! ♥

Welcome back Barb and wow you made quite a comeback. Gorgeous card and I love your combination of sequins and enamel dots!!
Barb, what a BEAUTY this is! The red, white, & kraft combination is one of my favorites! That red strip really makes the card POP! The popped up "25" is clever! So many lovely details on your pretty card!

I think this is very creative, Barb - love these colors together, too!
Not sure why but "first flurries of the season" popped into my mind when I saw this lovely. (You've probably already had some snow. We haven't.)
Oh, yes!! Mojo is back!! Love the red, white and kraft, too. It's in the 60's here today ... no snow in the forecast!! Hugs.
Hello Barb
Love love the effect of the misting it adds that all important texture that gives the card some depth; just gorgeous.
