For Time Out challenge #122 Home Sweet Home:
I've recreated this morning's card from Inspired By. This time capturing all those gorgeous greys I love so much... with the perfect pop of red!
Basically the same, using the fabulous Altenew Holiday Bow bundle. This time I've used a tag die for my 'wreath' this time … love it embossed with an old wood grain embossing folder, and dipped in white embossing powder - many times! You will be well tired of my SU texture by the time the New Year arrives! lol

Thank you, Time Out!!
I think this inspiration was designed for you Michele lol. Love your layered greys with the pop of red!!
ReplyDeleteI think not...and using that tag die for a wreath is another indication of your crafty brilliance.
ReplyDeleteNope never tired of that embossing folder. I LOVE it. And I have always loved gray so you are hitting it on all cylinders for me today. Mwah!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LIKE this one! That bold pop of bright red is gorgeous against your signature gray. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteNow a tag die for a wreath!? I love your "stretch-your-die" technique! The heat-embossed snow is like icing on cookies, looking fantastic & delicious!

Oh, love the pretty grays and wonderful pop of red!
ReplyDeleteBe still, my heart! This card is absolute perfection! No exaggeration!
ReplyDeleteWell you must be the only one who does what I ask! And what a beauty this is! I do love to work with all greys too and the pop of red is perfect with these. And I couldn't get bored of that embossing folder! Thanks for joining us at Time Out....you can never escape me!
ReplyDeleteSuch a striking card, Michele! Oh my goodness, I am surprised at how much I like the gray and red together. Just gorgeous. I will not tire of your use of both dry and heat embossing. You create so well with them. I'm sure glad your friend asked you for a card. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous take on the inspiration photo, Michele! I'm so impressed with your beautiful red bow and I LOVE the vellum sentiment! Such a lovely Christmas card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the photo, Michele. So pretty and creative. Love your greys and bright red bow. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!!!! This board was made especially for you, my friend! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh this is just wonderful, Michele!!! I love the shades of gray myself, and you have done wonders with that aspect of the inspiration!! Love the texture in the card and frame background and those wonderful sprays of pine. The vellum is just perfect to finish off this beauty. It's always a joy to see your work! Thanks for playing with us at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteDelicious texture and dimension, Michele ... so yummy ... who on earth could tire of it? I do especially love those glossy, shiny berries ... they add pizazz to an already pizazz-y design! Delighted to have you playing along with us at Time Out ... had a inkling this inspiration would have you creating!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteO my gosh, this is GORGEOUS!!!! That pop of red is just the perfect touch! I'm not sure if it's the scalloped details, the texture of the cardstock or that luscious bow, but this card really feels just like a cozy, soft bed! In the best possible way :) Really love this, Michele!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this Michele! You are the champion of using gray and this is no exception! Stunning!
