Hello! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I do appreciate your visit.
I am so excited to share that I got picked to be the Guest Designer for Just Us Girls for the month of November! This is a real honor for me and I just couldn't be more delighted.
Alright - let's get started with the first challenge for November...
Red and green! Well, when most see red and green, they automatically think Christmas and especially this time of year. But I didn't want to go that direction, so instead I made a birthday card for a December birthday friend.
This card features a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders. I used Chili Red card stock from Tonic Studios. Then I went about to create my wreath. I started with 2 circle dies to make a frame. Then I die cut lots of greenery from Be Bold Blooms die set from Spellbinders and some sprigs from the Bouquets & Buttermilk die set from Tonic Studios. I did 3 shades of green card stock. The florals are also from Be Bold Blooms. I had already adhered the wreath to the red panel and then had issues with my sentiment so I carefully cut out the center of the red panel to open up the inside of the wreath. Then I used some light gold pearlescent card for the back panel and the sentiment.
I think this is probably one of the most elegant birthday cards I've ever made!
I hope to see you over at the JUGS challenge blog - it's going to be a great month!!
