What a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend it has been...a delicious meal with family, a little bargain shopping, a dinner and movie date with my hubby, Christmas decorating, and of course...lots of papercrafting!
How many of my stamping friends had this book as a child?! It was one of my all time favorites...and a perfect inspiration for my project today!
This scrappy holiday card was inspired by the
Cover Art Inspiration,
retro sketches 39, the
Make It Monday 92: Layered Vellum Die Cuts, and
Crazy 4 Challenges 164: Put a Bow On It.
Isn't this new paper, All is Bright by My Mind's Eye,...so completely gorgeous?! Creating the embossed, glittery vellum snowflakes was a new technique that I learned from the fabulous Melissa Phillips from the Make It Monday challenge...and I used her double bow technique, too...a little different from my usual way of making bows! Check out her fantastic tutorial video!
