This is my card for this week's Muse: ChristmasVisions challenge, where Betty has given us this beautiful, classic inspiration:
I focused on Betty's
-colour scheme
-theme (Christmas foliage)
-basic layout
-sentiment made up of black ink and gold die cut
I used WPlus9's Handlettered Holiday die and stamp set. I cut the Merry in gold foil cardstock and inlaid it into a panel (cut with an MFT pierced square die) that had been masked and sponged with Festive Berries and Wilted Violet (just a touch at the top to add a bit of depth). For my foliage, I used Taylored Expressions' Holly die.
Simply gorgeous Ardyth!x
ReplyDeleteLove your 'take' on the inspirational card Ardyth - simple but elegant and stunning. Often these are the hardest cards to make as any little 'oops'seems to take on a life of it's own!
