Hello Crafty Friends,
I got quite a bit done today (cleaned, bought our Christmas meal, and wrapped presents), but you know how it goes...there is always more to do. I found out I need to run an errand or two tomorrow to pick up a few last minute stocking stuffers. I guess I didn't plan as well as I thought.
I created this card this evening and when my daughter came home form Busch Gardens I told her to take a peek. The first comment she made was, "Is it for a wedding?" That was not my intentions, but I sure do think it could be.
Snowman and must include 3 elements!
~ metal
~ border
~ monochromatic
These are some of the materials I used. They are from a big craft bag that I have had since I got married 18 years ago. It was stored away and just recently pulled out. I read a post by Carri at The Creative Cutter Room about using silk flowers, which is how I remembered this bag. Once I opened it, I couldn't believe all the great supplies in there...beads, florals, tulle, lace, etc. My wedding was red, white, and black and my sister's was white and teal. I made all the bouquets and boutenieres.
Looking forward to using more of these "stored away" treasures.
Other Materials:
silver and white glitter cardstock
Cuttlebug embossing folder ~ snowflake
white ink
silver brads
lacey ribbon
wiggly eyes
white flowers and leaf
white glitter
silver gem
Winter Woodland cartridge ~ hat cut at 2"
snow lady die-cut was in scrap pile
