It's really time to get the final Christmas cards done so I'm not stressed doing all the other preparations for the wonderful family holidays coming up! To that end - I have a sweet little Christmas card to share.
I made the bow with the small bow die from Lil Inker Designs. The greenery was cut with Holiday Greens die
from Alterations. I wrapped Stone twine around the 'package' and looped
it through the snowflake cookie.
I die cut the snowflake out of kraft card and then sponged it with Wendy Vecchi Archival Orange Blossom ink to make it look like a gingerbread cookie tag on this lovely 'present'.
My card design was inspired by today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. The inspiration was Angela's Christmas Pinterest board - and this was what caught my eye:
So how did I do??
My background is a piece of digi paper from Stamplorations called Splash of Grunge. (no longer available)
I'm also linking my card to Jingle Belles Challenge - Holiday Foods and Drinks
