Finding Inspiration Friday. Monochromatic Queen Anne's Lace Card

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today. I wanted to share how much I love to create projects with a monochromatic color theme. That means you use hues of one color. I think it just adds so much richness.


For my card today, I combined the Queen Anne's Lace and Woven Heirlooms stamp sets together. 


If you look closely, you can see a delicate design in the stripes that I stamped as a background. 


You have to remember to put that special touch inside your cards too. Here I simply added my sentiment and a touch of color with the flowers. If you want to see more details, you can watch my video below.



Thanks again for stopping in today. I hope you are inspired to create some projects using one color. Share any with me. I'd love to see what you make. I also wanted to remind you of some wonderful promotions happening.

A Theme Challenge with The Paper Players

 Hi Everyone,

Thanks for popping in today. I decided to jump on and share my card for The Paper Players (PP520) theme challenge. It's that wonderful countdown for Christmas and it's the perfect time for "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". 


There is nothing better than a winter wonderland in nature. The Snow Front Stamp set makes this scene spectacular! The snow is glistening and the pond is frozen. 


The trees and mountains have the glittering crystal effects. It gives such an impact with dimension. 


Of course, you want to continue the theme inside for a wonderful finish. There are many wonderful creations on The Paper Players Blog post. Be sure to check them out. You can even create your own Christmas Card.


Thanks again for stopping in. I hope you are inspired by the upcoming holiday to give a little special homemade love to your family and friends.

Freezin' Fun is what I want in this winter. I love snow and I love the
