Monochromatic Christmas card

Whew...you wouldn't believe what just a couple of days off your blood pressure meds will do to a person! Saw my doctor, got a refill and am feeling much better!! :) So much better that I have a brand new card for you today!!

Before we get to that, I have to give a big ole shout out for our own uber sweet and seriously talented DeNami gal, Lisa Elton! She's one of the newest DT gals (starting January) over at Paper Sweeties!! How fun :) and I can't wait to see what she makes with those darling images!!! Congrats Lisa!!!

Alrighty then, lets get to todays little card! I saw a darling little monochromatic card in green and white on Pinterest (I'm sure you aren't surprised, lol) and wanted to make one myself....

Well I almost nailed it, lol!!!! After I made the card I thought it really needed a little pop of color so I redid my medium pine tree with it's little medium tree swirl overlay stamp. Well, doing that led to another change - I had to pull the gold color from somewhere so I changed out the green rhinestones for gold ones. All in all, I'm happy with my card even if it isn't the monochromatic card I started out to make :)

That's it for me today, I'll see you back here on Monday with the cutest little Christmas treat box!!! See ya then, have a great weekend!

Classic Christmas...

I wasn't to sure how this card was going to turn out as I was trying to come up with a new layout. But in the end, it makes me smile, and we all know that that's what counts. It's very rare that I make a card on the fly without any forethought and comes out so perfect in my eyes. Hope you like it too :)

 

 

 

So whatcha think? I just had to have me some polka dots, lol. I started out by pulling out the green and lime cardstocks then realized I needed a 3rd neutral color and decided on kraft...kraft goes with everything! I just love that medium pine image. I purchased it last year along with the 3 stamps that you can lay over the top (this swirl line, stars and a mix of the stars and swirl). It's simply a beautiful little stamp.

 

PS: the medium tree swirl and medium star tree are on clearance....just sayin' ;)
