Hello! I'm so glad you stopped in again! My mini break taking care of DH has come to an end and I'm back to work again. It was actually pretty nice having the time to get the decorations up and I even did a little baking. I didn't get a ton of crafting time though. However, I did manage to make a few cards using the Snow Festival DSP that was in my paper pile.
This pattern reminds me of a cozy warm sweater that someone's granny may have made as a gift, so I'm going with the cozy little Christmas card theme! The hardest part was finding a way to add a sentiment without taking away from the sweater theme. I probably spent over an hour thinking and testing out different ideas. I finally settled on the layered circle oval with a little soft suede distressing around the edges to make them stand out from the white and baja breeze on the pattern. It took me another 10 minutes to get the right sharpie shading for the enamel dots so they went with the colors as well.
I ended up making 6 of these and now I think my card stash might just be complete! Now I just need to get those Christmas stamps purchased and address those envelopes... Wish me luck!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day. Happy crafting! For my fellow Christians of German descent, Happy Feast Day of St. Nicholas! Hope he brought you something wonderful!
Sweet card. I had to giggle at the amount of time you spent trying to find the perfect placement. I couldn't tell you the hours I've wasted over the years debating on the same thing, or "should I shouldn't I add this". Sounds like a productive break you had, too.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment looks great right where it is! Pretty, pretty card!
