Hello friends! A quick post today... wasn't actually planning on posting, but this card that I made for the current CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers works for the current Merry Monday challenge (use browns, tans, creams), as well as the current AEI{heart}U challenge (holiday).
I started by die cutting the AE winter wreath from some My Mind's Eye woodgrain patterned paper and then stamping it with the corresponding wreath image using Hero Art's Latte ink. All the little bits were die cut, stamped and added to the wreath. I watermark ink and gold embossing powder for the bow. When I die cut the wreath from the patterned paper I wasn't sure how it would look, but I really like the finished product. It gives it a bit more of a rustic look I think.
I die cut the panel using my AE dotted die, added the wreath and the sentiment. Mounted everything on a dark chocolate card base. I know the Merry Monday challenge was to use cream, brown and tan so I hope it is okay that I have the little bits of red and green.
Thanks for stopping by...
