I used a little bit of everything on this card! I started by die cutting the "merry" 3 times (PTI - Wonderful Words: Holiday Die Collection) and then embossing just one of them with white embossing powder. After gluing the 3 together with the embossed one on top, I figured where I wanted to place it and then made 3 embossed lines across the front of the card base. Next I added a Holly Flourish from Cheery Lynn Designs, and then a glittered up die cut poinsettia from Spellbinders. The little bird comes from SSS (Bird of Roses), and I also added a few pearls to the center of the poinsettia and a smaller one for the eye of the bird. I finished with simply stamping "Christmas" in Delicata Golden Glitz ink for just a touch of neutral.
Isn't this a gorgeous inspiration picture?!!! My house is more rustic than elegant, so I don't think I could pull something like this off, but I sure do like looking at it!! :0) Make sure you check out all the beauties this photo has inspired, and even play along! Seriously, Merry Monday's has helped me have my Christmas cards basically done (sometimes I forget to do the insides!) for the past 2 years since I started playing along, and it is definitely a wonderful feeling not to panic come December and realize you have how many cards to get done (along with everything else!) in a very short time!! You can check out all the info and inspiration to play along right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)
