Blog hop 5 already!!
VERRY MERRY
Welcome to this fortnight INKspired Blog Hop. Just before me is Narelle be sure to hop around and check out all the girls creations.
I am well and truly in CHRISTMAS mode!
Its taken me a little longer than usual this year with lots
of other occasions demanding me to make cards.
I do love the feeling of Christmas its FUN, EXCITING, super busy and great to spend time with friends and family!
With Christmas on my mind I got organised for the next blog hop and
this is the sketch we are working with!
I struggled with this sketch mainly because I don't own the oval dies,
this put my thinking cap on.
How was I going to create an oval with out using the dies.
What a great challenge!
Well with my thinking cap on!!!!.....
...........And with a little creative readjusting of the sketch (just a little bit) I created this!
I sponged the edges of the Very Vanilla smallest layer with crumb cake to create a vintage aged look and put some Real Red behind to make it pop!
I cut the Wonderful Wreath in half popped it up with dimensionals and used the Burlap ribbon to cover up the gap. I cut down the ribbon to make it thinner and then added a small strip of Very Vanilla and Real Red.
I finished it off by stamping VERRY MERRY and putting two tiny pearls either side.
Thanks for stopping by
