Hello my friends! We have another fabulous Sketch from Donna... another with endless possibilities, too! Here's where CTS#350 took me...
LOOK I even remembered the sentiment this week!! LOL! It features this lovely Season's Greetings set from Pinkfresh Studios - the coordinating die set not only precision cuts the wreath, it has this loveliest of bows! I did a bit of fussy cutting around the sentiment - this set does not include a die for the sentiment, but they often do. All elements were very simply water colored.
My card base was another embossed piece I created at Lisa's... just that wee bit of texture can add so much to a CAS card... thank you Lisa - is it another Lifestyle Crafts? I also used the largest of the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle to trim it to this size.
I'm happy to be close to the finish-line with my Christmas creations. However, I've done a bit of shopping lately - who can resist? - so be prepared for more sharing!
Speaking of sharing... let's go see that DT gallery - my teamies always share their best creations there!
