Anyone who's played along with us at Jingle Belles probably already knows this, but it's worth mentioning again anyway. As always, the first prompt of October is PINK CHRISTMAS and it starts NOW!
When I saw Lawn Fawn's 'Window Scene, Winter' stamp set at Paper Anthology I let out a little squeak of joy, because as a matter of fact, I own a couch a bit like that one and it sits directly in front of a large and dramatic window. I cannot claim that we've ever had a plaid tree, but the blue spruce that I cover with my vintage ornament collection each year actually does sit exactly where the tree from LF's 'Joy to All' is in the card. There are Eyelet Outlet Pink Pearls on this tree, and (white) snowflake sequins in the shaker that's behind the window frame, which is diecut using the add-on 'Window Frame' die set.
Here's the actual couch and window, for comparison purposes. Note that the room is much less pink than the card, due to undue influence from a certain husband.
Be sure to visit Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beeeeautiful pink card and start making plans to link up one (or more!) of your own, for a very good cause.
Fantastic card, love the vintage scene in pink, no wonder you loved that window set, love the use of all the plaids too. I am hoping to get a few cards for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love that real life scene that inspired your card. A beautiful card depicting a well holiday decorated room!! Well done!
