Good afternoon.
We are being hit with yet another rain storm here in South Carolina.
I am so sick of the rain.... thankful for rain... but still sick of it.
Does that even work? lol!
Anyway, I am here with another fun Christmas card. I have been
enjoying the cooler weather (it's been in the low to high 70's the past few days)
That means I get to open curtains and light a few fall smelling candles.
When the sun is beaming and the temps are so hot, my AC can't keep up and
I have to keep the house looking like a dungeon. No fun!!! :(
I created this card using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp
COME AND KNOCK AT MY DOOR
The actual image just has the topiaries plain. I drew in the snowman faces and buttons.
I love to add fun things to the topiaries for different seasons and holidays.
I used patterned paper from the American Crafts HOT COCOA stack.
The Kraft paper was embossed using a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder.
I added some silver and crystal stickles to the card for an extra touch of sparkle!
.
I chose a monochromatic theme for this card because I love how simple, yet beautiful
it is. It makes the card look old fashioned, simple, warm, and inviting. And is much different
than my normal bright, bold style.
Thank you for stopping by!
I hope you all have a beautiful and blessed day.
