Then I saw the new Festive Friday Challenge. Oh my ... well laid plans....
Last year I followed the Festive Friday Challenge, but did not participate. Oh, I think I may have once. But this year I really am going to try to be more active -- the challenge looks like a lot of fun and has great inspiring ideas, too! So, here is the first entry.
The inspiring photo for this week's challenge is below. I looked at this wonderful red barn and loved the scene. (What a great Christmas card as is!) Well, I started thinking colors and going through my Christmas paper and card stock. When I saw the red and white polka dots, a light bulb lit up. The big snow covered branch brought a white ribbon to mind. The snow made me think of a white card and white flowers. Finding the right stamp was the real challenge! Nothing really fit except the little Verve banner which was the perfect size for my Happy Holidays stamp from Stampin Up.
Festive Friday Challenge (FFC23)So I played around with the papers and flowers, found the gold mesh and came up with this card. Fun!
A note about the gold mesh. This was part of the wrapping on a Christmas poinsettia I received as a gift, and I saved the mesh thinking I could recycle it at some point.
Have a great week!
