Winter Day


I am on the road today, but wanted to share a card I made for this weeks Potluck Friday challenge at StampTV. Lee's challenge is called One plus One. One color (family) and one neutral. I happen to love monochromatic cards so this was an easy one for me to whip out. I was pretty happy that I only worked on this one for an hour. Usually it takes me 2-3 hours once I get started. I think my mind wanders sometimes! :)

I had seen this layout awhile back and copied it and put it in my "layouts to use someday file". There wasn't a name on the inspiration card, so I don't know who to thank for the great layout. If you recognize it, give me a shout out so I can give proper credit.

I had these two sheets of Aqua (one light and one medium) cardstocks in my stash and thought they would be perfect paired with white and the trees from the GKD Tree Silhouettes set. I stamped and embossed the trees with white EP and then layered it with the white and lt aqua panels. I wrapped some 1/8" aqua organdy ribbon around the lt aqua panel and then attached it to the med aqua card with foam tape. I finished off this card with some Stardust Stickles on the tree limbs and the ground and a punched snowflake adorned with an aqua rhinestone.

Happy Saturday!
