Oh yippee, we are supposed to get snow again?!?! What the heck??? LOL Oh well, I guess I can just stay in and play with my stamps!!!
Today's Crazy challenge is a color challenge! Our Crazy girl Maria has tasked us with this awesome challenge!!! Use the colors in this beautiful picture for your inspiration ~
Here is my card ~
The layout of this card is based on My Favorite Things new Wednesday Stamp Club challenge which is now going to be sketches! I love sketches. Makes my life much easier! Anyway, MFT had a big sale after Christmas so I ordered the Grow Love set that I had been looking at for a long time. The sentiment is not in the Grow Love set but is from the Pure Innocence Snow Day set.
The base of my card is Dark Chocolate with a mat of Select White. The decorative paper is from Bo Bunny's Crazy Love collection. The top large layered scallops were cut using MFT's Jumbo Scallop die. The tree was pieced with 2 different patterns and then adhered to another pattern that I cute using my oval Nesties. The buttons are from PTI and the string is white floss.
