Happy Thursday, peeps! I have a card that was definitely a labor of love....but I love the end result, so it was worth it! I don't always have the time to do these types of cards, but it was a "chill" kind of day, so I went with it! I am using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch for this week, as well as the FarmQuest Theme challenge of country light:
So here we go:
This card is pretty large, about 4" x 6 5/8", but it will fit in a business envelope or a larger one from my stash! I diecut and stamped many elements for this card, using an older W+9 stamp called Merry and Bright. Of course, over the years, I have lost two of the stamps....the flame and the berries, so I had to hand-create them with some markers, and I almost lost another one, but I found it stuck to the bottom of my Stamparatus! Phew! Anyway, I used every single of the elements, just sticking them around the candle here and there:
I debated on adding a ribbon and in the end, just opted for some simple twine. The background DSP is SU's Tiding of Christmas and it's on top of a Real Red mat.
And speaking of lots of greenery and embellishments, Dana and some of her coworkers attended a wreath-making class at the same winery where her birthday party was held:
A girl after my own heart--she chose a buffalo plaid ribbon and vintage bells for her wreath! Here they all are....just gorgeous!
And here they are again....can you see their faces peeking out from the openings in the wreath? CUTE!
They even had a "door" on which to display them:
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
