Good morning friends. I'm popping in with a card I made for this week's Make-It Monday Challenge at PTI. Dawn inspired us to create a painted background. Here's what I came up with:
I used tones of green, blue and teal with a touch of gold like Dawn did.
I cut the painted background using the Mix & Mat Postal Die and added some Holiday Greens and one of the houses from Winter Village. The sentiment is from Winter Village.
I also made a couple of tags for day 1 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. I'm so glad I can play along this year. I was inspired by Shari Carrol's beautiful tag using some supplies from Tim Holtz.
I just happened to get some of the same supplies in and hadn't used them yet so it was fun to recreate a similar design on my tags as Shari's beautiful tag found here.
The poinsettia is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
Thanks for stopping by!
