Happy Monday, everyone! I've been neglecting my Christmas cards lately, and when I saw the Peace On Earth challenge's mood board, I was inspired to make a green one! Here's their board:
I was inspired by ALL the green greenery...so pretty...as well as the white accents! So here we go:
My friend Michele convinced me that I needed this W+9 Bells and Bows set; it's a little time-consuming to stamp all the layers, but the results are really detailed and pretty! I stamped and diecut everything out, added a Simon Says Stamp sentiment, then mounted them all on some retired SU DSP and an embossed layer to create a 4 1/4" square card base.
I loosely used the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (my layers are not quite the same, but I followed the stripes in the paper):
Another to add to my stash! Thanks for popping in today!

I LOVE this card. Do you ever get tired of my saying that about your cards? It's not very original, but it's always true. Have a blessed day and thanks for sharing your daffodil.
ReplyDeleteI admired that mood board, too, LeAnne! You have found such a beautiful way to represent it - and I'm SO happy you snagged one of those sets before they were gone!
