Happy Christmas Eve! I can't believe its here already! My parents kept the kids last night so we got LOTS of stuff done! Most of the presents are wrapped and ready! I got a fun package in the mail so I had to unpack that and actually felt a little inspired to make a card! Maile is most definitely one of my favorite designers! I have really enjoyed her cards this release...well every release...but I am here today with a very Maile inspired card...
Can you believe I cut those flowers out? GASP! I know...why didn't I buy the dies? I do have to say how easy they were to cut out tho! I layered them with the TANL die. I cut out several and then cut them apart, rearranged them, turned them over, curled some of the leaves. I love this look! Then I added in those gorgeous roses!
All of this is on top of the card base where I used the Quatrefoil die to emboss the card front. Super easy! I added a Tiny Tag and a little Twinery twine and done!
I am going to turn this card in over at Wee Memories for their "Anything Goes" challenge!
I know this should probably be a Christmas card today right? But the sentiment says it all! I hope you all enjoy your Christmas Eve! I hope its a happy one! :)
What a beautiful card, I love the embossing!
