It's time to get serious about my Christmas cards I think. After all, Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and after that Christmas will come rushing at us like a freight train! The color challenge at Dynamic Duos fit right into my plans and the sketch this week at iSpy is to do a starburst, which I thought would look kind of neat with these colors.
I used some retired Christmas DSP called Deck the Halls and some Sahara Sand DSP for my starburst. And I'm going to pretend that I didn't put a couple of the scripty papers on with the writing upside down! Hopefully whoever gets this will be so bowled-over by my fussy-cut pine bough they won't notice!
The pine bough and poinsettia are from Watercolor Winter. I just saw a card the other day where this pine bough was stamped repeatedly in a circle to create a wreath, so I suspect that you may see something like that here soon enough!
I am officially on vacation from work for the next two weeks! I can't wait to relax a little, get some leisurely Christmas shopping done and enjoy spending Thanksgiving with my zany family! Thanks for stopping by!
Jen I love the colour theme you chose for your card. Thanks for playing along at iSpy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card, Jen - upside down text notwithstanding! ;-) I LOVE your fussy-cut pine boughs, and that gorgeous bloom. Love it. Thank you for joining us at Dynamic Duos. ;-)
ReplyDelete(I hope you have a great vacation, too!)
ReplyDeleteJen this is so pretty..I did't even notice some of the words were upside down. Hey, that's part of it being hand made:) Glad you joined us this week at Dynamic Duos. Enjoy your vacation. I expect to see lots of blog activity.
