Happy Thursday, everyone! It's the last Inspired By of the year, and we've got a fun challenge for you! We want to celebrate YOU!
We're being inspired this week by all the 2021 winners at Inspired By! If you hop on over to the IB blog, you'll see a link to all the winners' posts! Choose one that inspires you and make a card to share with us! There are also PRIZES!! Woohoo! But first, let me show you my card:
I was inspired by this card by my sweet friend Bonnie:
I really liked how she "framed" that little bunny with that fun die. I changed the orientation of mine to fit this lovely vintage Santa image from Simple Stories. I created a double frame with some Cherry Cobbler cardstock and square dies, and added some vintage glitter to Santa's tree:
Then some stamping and an embossed mat:
I created some holly leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock and Garden Green and Old Olive inks, embellishing them with some Real Red rhinestones:
And stamped a vintage sentiment and tree on the inside:
In hindsight, I wish I had kept the background plain like Bonnie did hers, but I was enamored with all the papers from my Simple Vintage Christmas paper from Simple Stories and I went a bit overboard! I am also going to enter this at Sparkles Monthly Challenge, because they're looking for vintage Christmas!
You can find more details on the blog...be sure to check it out! And thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
