Merry Monday #280

This is the photo inspiration for this week's Merry Monday.

There's a lot to take in but the first thing that caught my eye were the beautiful topiaries in the center of the table.  So out came my long neglected PTI stamp and this was born.

The white PTI panel reminded me of a fancy table cloth and I foam mounted it on the plaid.  The topiaries were cut from black, the bases heat embossed in platinum and the tops die cut in green.  I love that the little leaves are three dimensional.  The sentiment is from PB and I think maybe I should have added the word Christmas somewhere but it's too late now.

I'm so glad you dropped by today.  I love it when you do.

The Card Concept #81 and 25 Days of Christmas Tags #5

Today I have a card for The Card Concept in the Clean and Simple category.

The poinsettia is from Sunny Studio stamped in Altenew inks and heat embossed and spattered in gold.  The sentiment is from PB.

Speaking of poinsettias, I have one for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags inspired by this one from Michele on day 5.

I used the same Altenew set to make mine and colored it with Inktense pencils.

I love how well the color shows up on the chocolate cs.

Now that I have my new computer up and running, I can install all my pictures and documents and spend time crafting instead of trying to figure out technology.  I need some creative time.

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

CAS(E) This Sketch #245 and Seize the Birthday

I'm ahead of schedule for posting a card for CAS(E) This Sketch.  Usually it's a last minute thing but I got a new stamp set from CASual Fridays that was perfect for a card.

After embossing the flowers with platinum, I colored them with Inktense pencils.  I embossed a sentiment from PTI so I could send my card to Seize the Birthday where the topping is kraft card base.

Thanks for dropping by. I love it when you do.
