Happy Wednesday, everyone! Hope your week is going well! I have a Christmas card to share today using the Global Design Project colors as well as the latest Try Stampin On Tuesday sketch:
I've been using mostly white card bases, so I thought I would use a colored one this time, Pretty Peacock. I used a piece of Pretty Peacock DSP for my banner, and a Dashing Deer stamped in Merry Merlot for my circular focal point:
I used some Mossy Meadow cardstock for a few pine sprigs from the retired Pretty Pines dies, and "tied" them with some Cherry Cobbler thick baker's twine. The sentiment is from Merry Christmas to all; I taped off most of the sentiment, inked up "peace" then pulled off the tape and stamped it on a tiny piece of Whisper White that was left over from some stitched diecutting!
I did use a Tim Holtz embossing folder called Deer Knit because it looked so pretty with my deer and evergreens!
I added a white mat on the inside and stamped another sentiment and swirl from Merry Christmas to All:
Hope you enjoyed it! And from Christmas to summer; remember my almost-blooming sunflowers? Check these out, all courtesy of my birds at my bird feeder, LOL!
Don't they just make you SMILE!? Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

Love these colours for your Christmas card LeAnne - so rich and welcoming and the embossed background just adds to the cosy feel. Fabulous sunflowers too - they always make me smile! We don’t have any in the garden this year - we grew tomatoes alongside ours last year and this year the bed turned into a self-seeded tomato bed with no room!
ReplyDeleteGreat card LeAnne...yummy color for the base....love the EB folder...you pulled it all together beautifully. Lovely Sunflowers...they are so special in our family...and how perfect with the bee on the one..
ReplyDeleteBig smile this morning from me. Love the card (especially the EF) and the sunflower with the bee. Have a blessed day.
