I decided to combine two challenges for this card. The sketch came from MFT's Wednesday Sketch Challenge:
and the theme and colours came from this week's MCV challenge where we have our first inspiration from MCV DT Member Betty Wright and this gorgeous card:
I used MFT Electric Red cardstock and cut the 'ribbon' using MFT Stitched Snowdrifts dies. The Merry was cut in gold foil cardstock, using MFT Little Lowercase alpha dies.
The sprigs and pinecones are from Impression Obsession.
Fabulous. Love the touch of shimmer on the pine cones Ardyth.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Ardyth ... the cones against that fabulous ribbon are gorgeous ... love the shimmer on the sentiment! Bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is a beautiful card Ardyth! I love your take on the sketch and I love the colors you took from the MCV inspiration card. You have the best ideas floating around in that head of yours!! Wish they would float like that in my head. lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLove that background and the pine cones look 3-D, Ardyth! Beautiful, Sistah!
ReplyDeleteWow, KILLER design Ardyth, I am just in Awe.. So creative!!!!!! Love the wavy split!!!!
ReplyDeleteGENIUS, BRILLIANT!!!!
You combined these 2 challenges so well. Love the red curve and gold merry!
ReplyDeleteSimply incredible and taking the muse card to a different level. Love it. X
ReplyDeleteArdyth, this is wonderful! Love the gold foiled MERRY! The pine cones look so real!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Awesome take on the sketch challenge Ardyth!! I just love this!!
ReplyDeleteThat ribbon looks fabulous, Ardyth, and do I see stickles on the pine cones? It's a wonderful card for both challenges.
ReplyDeleteYour card is very nice, but why Christmas in May? The Christmas season is long enough without having it creeping into spring & summer. Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteJust AWESOME, elegant and beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove it Ardyth! AT first I thought the word Merry was gold embossing paste! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have reversed the colours with just the red ribbon rather than the red base! Great take on the sketch too....so creative :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Ardyth! Your design is brilliant. Love this.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and your pine cones are stunning.
ReplyDeleteObviously, I`m not the only one who loves the shimmer on the edges of the pine cones. Beautiful, rich earthy colors!
