This time I decided to keep it CAS. I used a beautiful graphic of a pine tree and clipping from a 1960's government pamphlet that was a freebie from The Graphics Fairy. I die-cut into an oval and mounted on a decorative oval. For the card itself, I started with a white card base and covered it with charcoal-grey cardstock, onto which I layered grey plaid patterned paper that I got as a freebie from Trimgym's Digistamps, Papers and Images. I embellished with four star-shaped rhinestones and a silver star charm, tied with fibre. Here are the supplies used:
- Image and patterned paper: Described above
- Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
- White Card Base: Domtar
- Dies: Nellie's Multiframes Ovals and Decorative Ovals
- Embellishments: Charm, fibre, rhinestones (Dollarama)

Wow. Another gorgeous card Kitty. While catching up on my commenting duties, I also noticed this one that you entered over at SD and just had to comment on it as well. Your work is always so impressive. I really love the monochromatic feel you have going on with this one. Your diecut is beautiful and the fibre you used to tie of the charm adds the perfect touch. Awesome job overall.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
