The inside:
and the challenges:
I love this wreath die. It is so versatile. I know I'll be using it for Spring/Easter themed cards. The vanilla panel looked so, um, vanilla, so I embossed it with snowflakes. It still looked too vanilla to me, so I took it a step further and inked the edges and the snowflakes with Walnut Stain DI. I think it adds to the rustic look of the card. The sentiments are heat embossed, and the finishing touch is that brown faux suede ribbon. I think this is the first time I used it, and I have to say, it looks pretty awesome! LOL!
Well, it's time to feed the fur baby, then make some food for human consumption also. Thanks for hanging out. I hope you get the chance to play along with these challenges! Stay crafty, my friends!
