The only place I shopped after Christmas this year was at the Container Store because my daughter wanted to get something there. Of course I had to peruse the Christmas items that were already on mark down. These tags that came with two other styles in the package (one of them was the snowflake that I used last week) caught my eye because they looked to be just about the right size of a card front and I really liked the colors. And as it turns out, it wasn't far off about that size. Just a sliver on both sides needed to be removed and it fit perfectly. I also trimmed down the top to get rid of the tag hole.
I thought it would look good picking up that lavender in the tag so that's what I used for the card base. I stamped a little more of the scene onto that base. The trees were die cut from a paint chip.
So how weird is that lavender for Christmas? Or does it work? I have a couple more of those tags....
Okay, time to head over to the Jingle Belles and do some perusing there. Click here to join me.
love the lavender, beautiful card.
ReplyDeletePretty! I like the lavender! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not left the house in two years and have stayed in bed for the last year. I'm only gradually wondering if there's anything of interest for me and I thought of you. This is my first comment. My computer has been in the closet for two years and I've lost all my accounts except danajoywyzard@gmail.com. I find it impossible to get into cards because they have changed. I had wiped my craft room clean and walked away. Now I have finished putting my tables back up, bought a humongous hutch and pulled everything back out.....six months ago, and they've not been touched. I have one more stamper from OUR past that I will get in contact with if I can remember who it is.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear from you - e-mailed you back!
Deleteoh my gosh YES the lavender SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO totally works. these are amazing. seriously WOW!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteawesome eye to catch those tags ... they are perfection.
ReplyDeletePurple is, despite being a colour I am not normally fond of, my favourite non-traditional colour for Christmas, so that lavender works perfectly for me. And of course it's also perfect for shadows in snow.
