Happy Holidays

Introducing "Happy Holidays".

I saw some country designer plaid paper online, but it was way out of my price line, so I decided to  make some, as it seemed simple enough. I pretty well followed that card, which now I cannot find ofcourse! 

The original paper was plaid, but had many more lines than this one that I made. Given the brush I was using, I was not left with a lot of room for more plaid!

On Gina K Design Soft Stone and Passionate Pink cardstock and using a small stiff brush I applied the Hero Arts Pigment ink in a sweeping motion down the card, then across creating a plaid pattern.

I attached the soft stone card to the pink cardbase using Spellbinders foam along with Nuvo adhesive. Inside the cardbase I added another piece of the Soft Stone along with a piece of Neenah white cardstock and a sentiment from Picket Fence Studios inside Christmas sentiments stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.

Using the Sizzix Funky Wreath die I die cut 3 wreaths, gluing two together and attaching to the bottom part of the card, adding the single wreath slightly above. I die cut some white bits of the wreath and gathered them together in between the two wreaths.

I tied the pieces together and glued in place using the Pearl Cotton thread. I then glued in place the foiled sentiment.

To the finished card I added a few gems in reds and greens and a white gem.

The weather is very overcast, which is not good for shooting photos, but sometimes one just has to work with what they have.
