Time Out Challenge #223 begins today. This time we have a Photo Inspiration.
Here's an enlargement of the photo.
We are generously sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs. Winner will receive a $25.00 Gift voucher to the Newton's Nook Store.
I created my card with a few of elements in the photo - the Christmas tree topped with a sparkly star, the small pillow all the way to the right on the couch, and the black background in the fireplace. The design is a bit of a departure for me. When I showed it to DH, he said "I hate the silver polkadots". His reaction cracked me up. I knew I had succeeded in getting out of my comfort zone!

Lovely card with your sparkly star and your silver embossed background. So pretty. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe sparkle of the star and the shine of silver polka dots are so pretty, Stephanie! Using the pattern of the small pillow for the backdrop is a great idea, in my opinion. :-) Thank you so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!

You had me at gray, Stephanie - then you added silver! and topped it all off with that sweet snow-covered tree!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love?? I don't ask anymore!

This is a superbly festive Christmas card, and I have to respectfully disagree with your husband, as I love the dots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas card using the photo inspiration, Stephanie. LOVE the shiny stenciled background. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Christmas card! I like the contrast between the tree's focal and the silver dots backdrop! Just makes me think that the tree is ready for a holiday party! :) Thanks for linking to The Holly and Ivy! --Becca/DT
