Feeling crafty and a bit rosy...

Hi there dear friends!!! I hope this evening is finding you happy and warm! We are at 2 degrees on our way to heavy snow and -17 forecast on Tuesday night!! Makes me want to stay home, that's for sure!! I love the snow this time of the year, but the cold I could do without! Oh well, I will be singing Christmas songs as it truly is feeling a lot like Christmas!!!!

I worked on CPS #194 this evening.

Here's the sketch:

I really wanted to make a card with a vintage kraft background, and I wanted to play with my new Larger than Life stamps. I just love those stamps and I just had to try to make a Christmas card using them!!! I stamped the background of my card with Hero Arts Friends Stamp. I put together a couple of tags and stamped the Larger than Life Leaves and then my mind wandered back to Betsy Veldman's sweet little roses she made out of PTI felt a few months back. You can find her tutorial here. I made the roses just like Betsy's, but instead of sewing them together, I used a small punched circle as a base. Then I glued the rolled flower onto the base with Zip Dry.
The result is a little different for a Christmas type card, but I really wanted to get out of my box and try something new!! There's nothing like kraft with a punch of color.

PTI Kraft and Rusty Cream Cardstock
