Happy Saturday, peeps! I have a Christmas card for you today, using the Fab Friday sketch and the Merry Monday prompt of "bells":
This is one of those cards that seemed more attractive in my head; once I started to make it, it didn't quite match up to the image in my brain, LOL! But I'd already started, so I pushed through:
My upper panel used a piece of sheet music I printed from an Olde Design Shop digital image; I "aged" it a little, trimmimg it to fit my Crumb Cake mat. I added diecuts of a gold bell (Lil'Inkers) and some greenery (Tim Holtz), and adhered them to the music:
The main portion of the card was stamped with a little cabin image from Altenew and the tree from Kaiser's Frosted Christmas Tree set...don't they go together nicely?
After sponging the edges, I mounted it on a piece of the new Merry Merlot....a nice maroon color....and finally, added a few of the little stars from the bell diecut around the greenery and a Cherry Cobbler baker's twine bow! Another card for the stash! Thanks for popping in today!
Miss Cookie Face:
Enjoy your day and be blessed! Come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players' challenge too!

What a great idea to use the music score on your card, LeAnne! I love it with the jingle bell and the subtle stamping on the bottom of the card is perfect!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win, LeAnne. I had to come see how you did the kraft panel on your card. I have that Altenew stamp and never knew what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration. It gives a vintage feel to the aged music and wonderful swag of greens and bell.
