Howdy bloggers! It's Saturday, and the weather here in PA is SO NICE! Hubby and I spent some time walking around Gettysburg, and stopping at yard sales. He *LOVES* yard sales! LOL!
Anyhow, Deanne and the team at the Christmas Crafts All Year Round blog want to see some garland, leaves, and/or Christmas flowers. This should be a fun one! Here is what I made:
I found this image in my *HUGE* pile of printed images and thought this was perfect for the challenge. This comes from MelJens Designs. I love her images, I wish she was still making them! Anyway, I used a Zig pen in Pure Green to go over the branches, which turned out perfect, and colored the stars and JOY with alcohol markers. I went over those with clear Wink of Stella also. I wanted the image panel to be the star of the show, so I just backed it with a dark red big scalloped rectangle from Spellbinders, and embossed the card base with a folder from Momenta (I think?). I did have some difficulty trying to emboss the card base, which is 110lb. The left edge wouldn't emboss for me, so I covered it with a ribbon.
