For my last card  of this month's hop, I wanted to play with some sequins.  I scattered them about my card with some in my barren branches, some on my sentiment and some drifting down below.  My branches with stamped with a gray and then stamped again, generation fashion, to achieve a lighter color.  Finally, I stamped one sentiment below my branches and one on an embossed oval that I popped up on my card base.  When I sat back and looked at my card, the sequins took on a snowflake quality that I really liked.  I hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to move on to Sue!!

When I first saw this set, all I could think about was my mother's patterns in her sewing room.  I pulled up some vintage patterns online and set to work.  I decided that Mark's Finest Papers would put out a new line of "patterns" and I named them "Let's go out!".  I borrowed the 25 cents stamp from previously released All Postal and the numbers from the new set called Calendar.  I created a bottom border for my card with the measuring tape from I'm In Stitches and some faux stitching of my own.  Thoughts?

 

Don't forget to head off to Sue's blog now.  Thanks for coming by!

I created my card very simply.  It's a lot of embossing and a lot of layers.  I used a partial sentiment and the two ducks from the new Duck Hunting set.  I needed some scenery for them to fly over, so I borrowed some cattails from a set called Marsh Silhouettes.  I embossed all my images and then layered the green and white with some brown.  I drew my inspiration from a button I found for Ducks Unlimited.

I think it's pretty clear to see how I came about my design, even if I didn't have the exact same green color.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to keep going on the hop.  Next, you will visit Sue!
