The Card Concept: Holiday Gatherings

 

Welcome back to The Card Concept Challenge. 

I hope your holiday was everything wonderful!

The Card Concept is a challenge to create a card using a style. We have several suggestions

for you on our blog, or you can pick one of your own, or even combine 2 or more

styles. I'm excited to be back with this fabulous photo inspiration.

I was immediately drawn to the gold in the photo,  and used plenty of it

on my card. Also the color swatches, the stars, and the goblets. Pretty. much

everything in the photo!

Dies used from The Greetery, and MFT. Background sprays from Lindy's

Stamp Gang.

The Ribbon Maker die from the Greetery was backed with Gold Foil card stock, 

and the goblets were cut from gold as well. 

My card is Elegant Glam, a style I made up! Perfectly acceptable, as I said 

before!

Our challenges are for 2 weeks, and we love seeing your creations!

Happy New Year!

The Card Concept #186 {Holiday Gatherings} 

A Magical Birthday

Greetings to all this Memorial Day!

Playing along with Inspired by All the Little Things, 

and this inspiration photo

Sometimes an idea takes bloom, and you just have to 

go with it. That was the case with this card.

Just a bit of ink needed, on the tips of the daisies, Amethyst Allure (PTI). 

The rest all die cut and gold emboss tipped. 

I used the new die from Poppystamps called Ragged Daisy. 

There is also a sprig called Massa Leaf Background (Poppystamps).

Sentiment: Fairy Greetings (Poppystamps).

 Cardstock PTI, except for the gold stripe vellum (DCWV).

Hope you're enjoying the long weekend.

Gardened this morning, crafted this afternoon, and swimming later!

16 new ducklings!

Mama was MIA for a whole month. Finally found her nest, and took her food.

She came out with her brood Sunday after church.

So glad the weather is warm! Much better for the little ones.

Honestly, I spend half the day checking on them!
