Hi everyone! I saw the Color Throwdown colors this week and had to play! I love red, gray, and white!
When I saw the knitted throws (or scarves) I thought about the Sweater Stitch background stamp I just realized I had. I stamped a panel of white cardstock with smoky slate ink and the background stamp. Loved it! Then I saw this Winter Woods stamp set in my box of stamps I haven't used and decided to ink up the cardinal to get the red in the card. I perched him on a gray branch, stamped the sentiment and added a ribbon and some twine to the tag. I of course added some sequins! I think this would make a pretty Christmas card too!
The current Just Us Girls challenge is to add a tag to your card. The challenge runs through tomorrow at 9:00 pm est so you still have time to enter!
Thanks for stopping by!
