Today, I have a card for you that is inspired by the Mojo Monday 212 sketch and the beautiful colors from the CR84FN41 challenge.
First for my card:
And here is the inspiration:
I just love the color combination of Steel Blue, Gray and Yellow. And the layout from Mojo Monday was so much fun to work with.
The base of the card is gray textured cardstock with an added layer of white cardstock embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing template of snowflakes. The top layer is a base of steel blue topped with white cardstock that is designed with the Winter Night Sky Set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry.
The tag is stamped with the same stamp set and with RST’s Merry Christmas Peg Stamp – Mini . It is then finished with denim blue crinkle ribbon and embellished with 3 blue half-pearls.
Thank you so much for visiting with me today. Please don’t forget to leave comments before you leave my blog!!! Your comments are always appreciated.
