As I sat looking out into my backyard this morning sipping a cup of Christmas Blend (and a touch of Hazelnut syrup), I thought about how much I love winter in the Cariboo. I don't love that it lasts until April, but winter here, cold as it may be, is still sunny. There are only a few inches of snow in the yard right now, and it's definitely chilly, but the sun is shining as brightly as it does on any day in July. The smell of wood stoves is drifting through the neighbourhood, and I'm getting set to haul out the ornaments and put the tree up.
I wanted to make another Christmas card (my list seems to be getting longer each time I look at it) but wasn't feeling terribly inspired. I headed over to the Card Monkey blog and used it to get the juices flowing. I don't love Riding Hood Red, so I felt like I needed to give it a chance to shine. I think it worked out quite well with this little sketch.
I love the mix of textures on your card from the embossing folders to the ribbon! And the Riding Hood Red looks amazing. Nice job! Thanks for taking part in our A La Card Monkey challenge.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the DSP...perfect with the stamp! Thank you for sharing at A La Card Monkey!
ReplyDeleteYum - Hazelnut syrup sounds divine ... love the little Dasher stamp and he goes so well with your DSP choice :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments ladies!
ReplyDeleteLove the DSP on this along with the deer stamp.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the little "postage stamp" collage at the bottom. Your description of the Cariboo makes me want to come to BC now instead of waiting until our trip this summer :) TFS!!!
