Cranberry Sauce...Love You

Hi ya!

{Honored that this Made Top 3 at Little Scrap Pieces on 2/16/13}

I am popping on quickly to share a card inspired by the Waltzingmouse Stamps Cranberry Sauce Color Challenge and it was a bit of a challenge. I was smitten with the colors, but boy it was tough working them together just so. The inspiration photo is just gorgeous! 

Here is what my take! 
I used Waltzingmouse Seasons of Love Tags set. It is very much Loved by me! It's one of my WMS favorites and I seem to gravitate towards it first. 

The plum patterned paper was actually leftover from my recent "Dreaded Man Card" and I still had it out on my desk. 

I created a fussy seam binding bow and added a raspberry button to the center using some black twine. For an added touch, two heart stick pins were added to the bow. 
A layer of raspberry crochet trim was placed over a length of black lace trim in the middle of the card face where the patterned paper meet. 

As mentioned, I found inspiration with the current Waltzingmouse Color Challenge.
