*Yay! This card was selected as a Top 3 Winner at The Shabby Tea Room...Thank You Ladies*
How is your week starting off? My fellow American bloggy friends, I hope you are recovering from the Thanksgiving weekend. We are trying to play catch up after spending the weekend away. It was nice to get away, but all that catch-up work after is no fun especially with the holidays approaching and the house is array with tubs and totes everywhere.
I had the distinct honor of having my shabby xoxo card chosen as one of the Winning Recipe cards at the Catered Crop, so I was asked if I would create a card in this weeks Quickfire recipe swap.
So here is my quickfire card using Silver and Gold! :-)
I stepped outside my norm and created a 5x5 card base using Rustic Cream. I layered a textured white cardstock by DCWV which has been embossed with a damask pattern.
I am trying to get a jump on making some Christmas Thank You cards to have ready for after the Holidays....so, this will be the first of many in the days ahead I am sure. The So Sweet of You sentiment is from Paper Sweeties You make Me Smile.
The glitzed and glammed die-cut tree was actually ready to go just waiting to be used on a project. I had cut this last year and never got around to using it and thought it was perfect for this challenge. Another reason to NEVER EVER TOSS anything out. :-) The only addition I added was some chunky snowflakes to the edges.
The gold and silver ribbons are from MayArts.
Further inspiration for this card was found at:
The Shabby Tea Room - Just Neutrals
Thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your day with me. I know this is a busy time of year! It means the world to me!
Hugs and blessings!
