Today's card was inspired by an older sketch of Karen Giron's. You can find it 'here'. This is a card that I did for a swap last month. Since I just got my cards back today, I thought it was more than safe to show you all. I really do like the way this one turned out! And it was really pretty easy!! I got my color inspiration from an older challenge at The Paper Players. It was to use Always Artichoke, River Rock and Riding Hood Red. I like how these colors make a more muted, aged Christmas card. My card base is River Rock and then I cut another piece of River Rock and a piece of Riding Hood Red that I ran through the Big Shot with the Snow Burst embossing folder. Then I wrapped some Always Artichoke seam binding ribbon around it and glued it to my card base Then I cut a piece of Always Artichoke with the scallop circles #2 die and a piece of River Rock with the 3" die. I sponged the edges of the River Rock piece with River Rock before adhering it to the scallop piece. This is popped up on the card and one end is cut off. I stamped the tree from Season of Joy in Always Artichoke and Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla and cut it out. This is popped up on the circle. Then I stamped the greeting, from the same set, in Always Artichoke onto Very Vanilla and flagged one end. The other end is glued onto the circle. The last thing I did was to color a rhinestone with a Sharpie marker and put it on my tree! And there you have it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!!
