Hi everyone! Happy Thursday....blessedly, we had a lovely sunny day yesterday and it looks like a nice weekend coming up! I can't wait! It's about time! For Laurel's Inspired By challenge this week, it's a cozy one! Here's my take on it:
And here's her prompt....such a sweet little vignette, warm and cozy! I chose the Buffalo Check (of course) and that black and white throw as my inspiration!
I used the Sunday Stamps sketch for this week:
We did a similar card for my recent Christmas card stamp camp, and I thought it would translate nicely to this sketch! I actually CASEd this idea from my PP teamie, Laurie! You can see hers here! I started by stamping a Real Red card with the Buffalo Check background stamp in Basic Black, then adding a white panel from which I diecut three trees. I backed it with some black and white printed paper, popped up a couple of the trees in front, and then added some snowy glitter to them:
I added a wee little sentiment, diecut with an Avery Elle die:
My final addition was a diecut black scallop horizontal panel, embellished with some thick baker's twine to give some warmth to all the red and black! And since I used a background stamp, I am also entering this in the Stamp Ink Paper challenge for this week:
I know there is some something in our cute inspiration photo that will catch your fancy! Please share your creation at the Inspired By blog....can't wait to see it!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
