For my card I went with a Christmas theme. I have about 3 Christmas cards made so far... I know that I had better get moving, so I carpe'd the diem here! This is a new to me set of stamps, dies, stencils and foil plate. I did not foil, but I can't wait to try that. I am not thrilled with the placement of my pearls... this card needed a little something, but I am not so sure about them. I always take hours to find the right placement of bling, and I am not sure that these were the right "little something". In any case. I embossed the sentiment with silver EP, die cut it and popped it up in the center to complete my card.

What a pretty card Stephanie! The way you stenciled those leaves and the dark card base made it beautiful. The dots are perfectly place, but I too agonize and am never happy with mine.
ReplyDeleteI think your pearls are perfectly placed Stephanie and your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love the color combination too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is pretty! I like all of the berry sprigs encircling your sentiment! Wonderufl card, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteLove the image you framed with - the coloring looks amazing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of the colors! I love the berry sprigs framing the sentiment and they look amazing against the gray background.
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely Stephanie. Love how you chose to use this week's colours.
ReplyDeleteEverything about your Winterberries card is lovely, Stephanie, including the placement of your pearls. I can relate to spending excessive time trying to figure out where to put embellishments; perhaps that explains why I use them so rarely. LOVE your card!
