I'm back with a winter card...I decided to not add a sentiment to this...although it may imply the holidays....I like that it can just be a "Happy Winter" kind of a card.
The patterned paper is ala Martha Stewart {thanks cali Ivy!}....I had to do some creative cropping in order for it to fit on my intended standard card base. I'm trying to be good about USPS friendly cards for this year:) Can you believe it is relatively bumpy free too?
I was inspired by the Jingle Belles challenge:
we're making holiday cards inspired by any aspect of our new 2012 blog header that appeals to you, whether that's the color scheme, the funky retro styling, or any of the individual elements, such as the glorious glitter or the fun and festive bells... or all of the above!
I decided to focus on the colors and the banner....love how the zig zagging gives it a extra smidge of BAM.
Paper Crafters UNITE!
