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:

Supplies:
The Stamp Market paper sampler
EBE Red Droplets embellishments

Oh Michele, your bird, nest, and apothecary label are so fabulously CAS and so beautiful!

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.

So striking, Michele. I looked at that set just now - wow, I may need it. Nothing in my stash from that company either.

LOVE your pretty little bird, and the greenery (and whitery) you've added makes a lovely "nest"! Beautiful!

Lisa Elton said...

Oh, it does look like felt! Speaking of pretty, I like the frosty nest your pretty little bird is perched in. This is simply charming!

Beautiful, Michele, simply, texturally, and wonderfully beautiful. Hugs!

Love that you pulled the colors. So pretty.

I spy that texture but it takes second, only to those bold beautiful colors!

You always inspire me with your creativity, Michele! This is such a charming card and I love how you played with the colors! I think I 'need' some of this cardstock :)

What a lovey take on the IB photo, Michele! Yes, I can feel the felt texture in the close-up picture. Wonderful cardstock!
