Hello my friends! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend, and if you are in the NE USA, my prayers are with you as this monster storm approaches!
With this sudden and extreme cold front/ hurricane force winds on the east coast, forecast of snow even here... I have to admit that it has put me in a bit of a holiday spirit! Add to that the Nov 1 release from Our Daily Bread designs, and I think you can see why! Today I'm giving you a sneak peek at one of the soon to be released sets... Turtle Dove Ornament, as well as a sentiment from another set, Cardinal Ornament.
I am on a mission to create clean and quick cards for Christmas so that I actually have a hope of getting them done! With that in mind... if you like CAS, I have several coming your way that might fit the bill! For this card I simply used white card stock and some embossing powder from Sweet Stamps. The embossing powder is a bit older and does not have a color name on it, but it is what I would call "platinum". It's a cross between gold and silver... sort of a flatter gold or "tan" gold, which I love with this flatter Prism Metallic Gold paper that I used to mat. I also used a Holly Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug. The ribbon is May Arts silk and the pearls are from AC Moore. I used an inside oval from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two for the sentiment. I cut the ornament with a Spellbinders Classic Circle Large, which fits it perfectly! WooHoo!!! Sooo easy, so quick, yet elegant and festive I think.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Addicted to Stamps Challenge - Things with Wings, Amusing Challenges - Anything Goes Challenges 4 Everybody - Always Anything Goes, Christmas Card Challenges - must be Christmas - Pop It Up, Gingerloft - No coloring Allowed, Glitter n Sparkle Monochrome,One Stitch At A Time - Make 1 for Christmas, Robyn`s Fetish - Use an Embossing Folder, The Crafty Pad - Christmas is coming, Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - must be Christmas - No Patterned Papers, Totally Gorjuss - #155 Things with Wings, Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - must be Christmas – Circle, Crafty Ann's - Christmas, Fairy Tale - Monochrome with Dies & Punches, Inspire Me Fridays – Always Anything Goes, Stampin' For The Weekend - Anything Goes
I hope you'll stop back on Nov. 1 to see the release and have the chance to win one of several great prizes! Until then... be blessed!
