It's a holiday today in the US, so my husband is home from work. Yay! He was super sweet and allowed me some time to craft....and take down the Christmas tree. I know it's nearly a month after Christmas, but we were out of town for a few weeks over the holiday and didn't really get to see much of our tree. I wasn't tired of it when we got home, so I left it up. And to be honest, I was sad to take it down today. I love our tree. Okay, onto the card. I've had some ideas mulling around in my head for a while and today they all came together. I combined
ColourQ's palette,
Curtain Call's inspiration photo,
Clearly Besotted's Love Challenge, and
Simon Says...Emboss It to create this card.
This card started with the heart panel, which I created with a heart from Clearly Besotted's In Stitches: Christmas set. My original idea didn't pan out, so I recreated it using the colors in
ColourQ's Challenge and turned to
Curtain Call for more inspiration. I decided to use my panel like a letter, and the tag represents an envelope. Can you see it? (Think of an envelope that has been totally opened.) I actually flipped the tag upside down so the embossing would show more for the
Simon Says Challenge. I added some twine and the tag with a heart to represent the parcel on the far right in
Curtain Call's photo.
And actually my layout is loosely based on the Curtain Call's photo as well. (Cascading down from the left: red tag = red flowers on top left, stacked panel and sentiments = books/parcels, red heart tag = red heart at the bottom right) The final touch was some super fun heart confetti from the
Pretty Pink Posh Store. I can't stop using the goodies the super sweet
Paulina sent me. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful week!
