INKspired Blog Hop 5

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

    Well you nailed it if you ask me! Love that you turned the wreath into an oval and love your colour scheme with the hessian, I'm loving the bit of vintage Christmas right now...this card is right up my alley! The bit of sponge work to create a vignette is beautiful and I'm with you...I love Christmas! xo
