It's been too long since I've made a card for a PTI Blog Hop! Now that I've got my Christmas card supplies out and busy creating I was able to join in this month. I love the inspiration provided for the November hop:
Gorgeous! I will likely use this color scheme again - it's become one of my most favorite non-traditional color schemes for Christmas.
I worked on a few different designs before coming up with my final one - most of my decision was mostly based on the fact that I do not own tropical teal ink - (GASP!) - I only have the card stock. So that changed what I wanted to do. Here's the final result.
I went for a very simple design. I knew I wanted to use In the Meadow - it is a timeless stamp set in my eyes. I went with a Hawaiian Shores card base, the tree is in Tropical Teal, the carriage is in silver mirror card stock and the sentiment is stamped in Simply Chartreuse. I did cover the tree with Wink of Stella and then added the sequins. The background is an old piece of patterned vellum I had - it looks like it's snowing - perfect!
Thanks for visiting! Happy Thanksgiving!

Lizzie, your card is so pretty....love the winter scenery you created!
ReplyDeleteOooo, Lizzie. Cool take on the sketch. Simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! In the Meadow is one of my favourite sets, too. You should add another pic from a different angle that highlights the silver mirror card stock. In this pick, it looks red to me, though it still looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you created this scene. It's the perfect Christmas card.
