Howdy! Is it Friday? Yup, I think it is! I lost track this week...but here we are. One week closer to Christmas and holiday fun. Is your shopping done? Are you ready? I think I'm about 90% ready so that's good. I'm more relaxed this year than normal and I'm not sure why. But I'm happy about it! This weekend we have some last minute shopping and errands. I'm working next week too. I hope you have a great weekend in store for you.
Today's card is my entry for Stacey's Stamping Stage Curtain Call #60 Challenge. I love Stacey's blog and she picks great images to go with her color challenges. Given that the last card I posted took me FOR-ever to make, I thought with this one I would take it down a notch and do something elegant and more simple. You can't go wrong with this pretty color palette for Christmas, and the image made me think of a traditional Christmas feel. So...here's my card...
Here is the Challenge Inspiration Image:
The "Peace" stamp is from an OLD All Night Media set that I've had for years. The flowers are from Prima and the patterned paper is Basic Grey. The stamp image has these little dots around the word and I thought...hey...why not add some bling! So I used pretty golden rhinestones to add some pop. Olive green is a favorite color of mine...
Very pretty. I also love Olive Green. That stamp is great. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to christmas colors so this is right up my alley. Makes me think I need some more nesties. Penny
