Inspired By #154 - happy holly days

Do you have favorites - maybe really old sets - that come out to play every Christmas?  I do!  and I think you might just recognize it!  But first:  our IB154 inspiration:

                              

Isn't it pretty??  I couldn't help but pull out my variety pack of cardstocks from The Stamp Market - they were perfect, and they have the most lovely, almost felt-like, 'texture.'  

Here's my card... and a closeup:


Can you 'feel' that texture?

I'm so grateful to my friend Therese for introducing me to this Altenew Apothecary Labels set ... even trimmed, it makes a statement.

Thanks for dropping by today!  I hope you find a little something here that might inspire you to play along with IB154 ... maybe our Sketch will get the juices flowing?  For sure my teamies will!  OR how about the chance to win a prize??  Here's a darling set of sentiments YOU might just win, just for playing along:

  4. Nailed the inspiration...and, yes, I do recognize the die set. I even own it. But I couldn't ever do what you've done with it so spectacularly.
