So, this card turned out better than I thought it would, and I think I will be doing some more of this style in different colours. I made this card for the Dynamic Duos challenge number 13.
I used Crumb Cake and Early Espresso with a little hint on very vanilla.
(Sounds a little bit like morning tea actually. Coffee, cake with a twist of vanilla.)
The stamp set I used is Merry and Type from Stampin Up.
The ornaments are absolutely stunning in the browns. So glad to see you at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is one stand-out card. Who would have thought that browns could look so gorgeous with christmas decorations LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is really striking and I love your sponging on the framelit edge.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm in a neutral stage at the moment and really enjoyed this stage. Loved seeing all the examples with the browns but yours is really fabulous with the bow!
