Pink Christmas!

Another lovely challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room!  This week

we are to use neutrals, pink, snowflakes, flowers, and gold!  And,

here is the lovely inspiration photo!

Hi there!

I could just stare at that lovely Christmas tree for hours!  My eyes focused on the pretty sheer ribbon and flowers.  I first painted a little wood bird and distressed it with tea dye ink.  I stamped snowflakes to the background paper and one on the bird.  Pearls were added.  I took a frame and covered it with musical paper and embossed it on the top and bottom.  Lace, ribbon, flowers were added to finish the card. 

I'm on vacation this week and I feel that I'm already behind in Christmas preparations.  You know, the baking, card sending, shopping, wrapping, decorating...sigh.  Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it!  But, it'll get done in due time.:-)  Taking time out for these challenges are a welcome relief from all the hustle and bustle.  Card therapy is truly good therapy...hehehe!  Ok, I thank you for taking time out to stop by today!  Take care, relax and enjoy this holiday season, hugs!!:-))
