Hi there!
I hope your weekend has been a good one so far! We had a gorgeous, autumn day yesterday - beautiful, blue skies and a bit warmer temps. Some of the trees in my neighborhood are at their peek of color and I'm loving it! I took a photo of the Autumn Blaze Maple in my back yard with my iphone. Of course, I have no idea how to add it here to my blog, so if you'd like to see it, you can check out this link over on Instagram. I promise, it's worth a quick look!
I had some time yesterday to play with some ink, paper, stamps and dies. Love mixing elements from different companies to create a card!
The little butterflies and sentiment are from Hero Arts' Made with Love clear set. I also used the Sizzix, Branch with Leaves die, and the Simon Says Stamp, Circle on a Line die.
Thanks for the visit! I'm off to get ready for work - hope you enjoy your Sunday! :)
Hello!
Gosh, it feels like such a long time since I've made a card - life sure gets in the way sometimes!
I'm trying to get more Christmas cards made, so I pulled out some of my Simon Says Stamp goodies again. I love their new, Holiday Peace and Joy Flair Badges. The colors are so fun! I wanted to use those same colors for a portion of my background, so I took a border stamp from their, Happy Everyday clear set and used Hero Arts Shadow Inks to create the stripes.
I cut the two striped pieces and adhered them to the steel gray panel. The sentiment is also from SSS - their Merry Christmas Die - LOVE IT!! And aren't those Flair Badges adorable?! The dots under the Christmas tree are actually a burgundy color but are showing up almost black in the photo.
That's it from me tonight - very late as usual - I'm such a night owl, but it's a great time to create without interruptions.
Hope you all have a great week! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
