Hello and hope you are having a blessed Sunday!
I am back with my latest card for Sentimental Sundays. This week's theme is "Inspired by a Song." I have the Irving Berlin song, "Happy Holidays" stuck in my head and find myself singing it as I work around the house, run errands, and even in the shower. Anyone else sing in the shower? Another confession from me. ;-)
Anyhow, I printed the Raindrop Echo sentiment which was surrounded by a frame and cut it out. You can find the sentiment here. Next I matted a black piece of cardstock behind it and then add some glitter for sparkle.
I stamped the background with a grey snowflake and then added Stickles in the centers which you can't see too well here. I cut a piece of my flocked wrapping paper and tried twine around it with a single bell. Which leads up to the large felt piece I hand cut and stitched to resemble a snowflake. I added pearls and buttons for accents. I love the elegance of this card with a touch of whimsy. It was fun to create!
