Happy Thursday, peeps! Winding down towards the weekend! I am still making Christmas cards because I actually make Christmas cards all year long, LOL! So the FMS sketch called to me:
I have a real mix of old and new here! The DSP is from the retired Painted Christmas along with some retired Shaded Spruce DSP for the accents. The sentiment is from Magical Meadow, diecut with the Nested Essential die, then accented with some Sweet Sorbet banners, also from the same die set:
Brightest Glow provided the inside sentiment, and I used some greenery from an older set called Winter Wishes and some berry "dots" from some set...can't remember which, LOL!
I love these traditional Christmas colors and this sketch is super-versatile!
A few more photos from Longwood!
Here's the restored red truck that was featured on the Longwood blog a couple weeks ago. Forgive John...he hates having his picture taken! A volunteer took the photo as well...it's not the best, LOL!

Very pretty card, LeAnne! Love the look of the 2 different papers together sitting on an all white cardbase. The sentiment finishes this beautifully! WOW, the photo's from Longwood are beautiful! All those gorgeously decorated trees and the red truck are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity but beauty of this card. Thank you, again, for taking me along to LWG.
ReplyDeleteSuch bright and pretty Christmas paper, LeAnne! BTW, Thanks for the pretty Christmas card. You are the Queen of patterned paper, my friend. Thanks too for sharing Longwood Gardens. What beautiful trees and that wreath is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh those papers came together as if they were from the very same set, LeAnne! Yes, to traditional colors, and that touch of pink, too! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteLongwood is dripping in Christmas - I'd give anything to see it up close and personal. I can't imagine the work it will take to dismantle it either!

I wonder until when I will be able to put up Christmas decorations. I change furniture from it usual places and everything else. The pictures are beautiful BUT my tree and Nativity are more beautiful . . . ho! ho! ho! Your card is so pretty . . . thanks Leanne!! Marina from Algeria.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty way to highlight those paper, LeAnne! Wonderful card and wonderful photos! We had a garden center that did it up big for Christmas too. My mom and I went every year. They had so many beautiful decorated trees. They closed a couple of years ago and I miss it so much!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making Christmas cards all year long! This one is very nice with that DSP. The pictures from Longwood are great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat paper is so pretty and it's perfect to showcase with a pretty sentiment. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, LeAnne. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card and I love these papers! So glad you joined us at FMS and Happy New Year!
