Happy Monday, peeps! Time for another lovely inspiration for Merry Monday! I just love this photo….a girl can dream, right? Or at least make a card inspired by it, LOL!
So since I already had some of the birch paper left on my desk from this project, I thought it would be cool try to stamp on it! I love the rustic look it created:
I stamped the mistletoe from PTI’s Holly & Mistletoe with Pear Pizzazz ink and a greeting from Waltzingmouse in Chocolate Chip ink. I added some pearl “berries” and a matching ribbon, and it was done!
I recommend using multipurpose glue to adhere the birch paper to your cardstock; it is a bit curly when it comes in the Thankful Tablescape kit, and it will try to “unadhere” itself!
I hope you’ll play along with us….Christmas is coming soon! Do you have your cards started? I hope this will inspire you to make something marvelous to share with us at Always Playing with Paper!
I don’t have any Cassidy pictures to show you, but we did go out sailing yesterday and Dana took a couple of photos:
