Oh wow! This is my second post for the day! This is the first time I've ever done that!
With the ice and coldness outside, I got a little extra time in the craft room today, so I worked on a few more challenge cards. I was doing this for Merry Monday and Dynamic Duos, but missed the deadline for Dynamic Duos, so it's just for Merry Monday this week! :)
This week they are doing theme and it's elegance....
Now I am not an elegant person at all and that is an understatement! Ha! I am a jeans and t-shirt, hair in the ponytail, chase the dogs around the yard girl. I wasn't even sure how to do an elegant card, but I did attempt. And I like my card very much. I hope it passes for elegant :)
I keep wanting to type elephant! See how elegant I am!! hahahahaha!!
So here goes.... :)
I created the snow hills by sponging ink with a template I created with a piece of paper, but you can't really see them in the photo, which is a really sad thing, as I thought they were neat...
The snowflakes are from Verve
Sentiment from Papertrey Ink
Big tree in the background from Penny Black
The rest are super old and I don't even think the companies are in existence anymore.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Hugs,
Kay :)
This is drop dead gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI can see the beautiful hills, Kay. The whole scene has a hushed feeling to it! A scene to just drink in! Thanks for sharing it with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteKay your card is so just stunning and oh so elegant! A beautiful scene and great colours.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Kay, love the scene you have created and the colours *wink*! Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous design...I loooove the gorgeous color combo and all the diecut trees....beautifully done!!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is elegant in every way! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhoa Nelly, Kay, this is spectacular. I think you hit elegant and even went past it a bit. One of the things I noticed first, when I looked at the card is the hills that you sponged. They are fantastic. Honest truth, I watched a video yesterday of a gal who was using ink dusters to create a hill and I thought it looked kind of cool. Yours are far superior in the look. You've added some great depth with your sponging! Love the whole scene. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...BEEE-U-tiful!! And VERY elegant! And I can see those soft hills, but they look like such a natural part of your landscape!!! LOVE this, Kay!
ReplyDeleteAgree with all ladies, your card is super elegant! It's an artwork!
ReplyDelete"chase the dogs around the yard girl" - :)))))) Cannot believe! Your cards always are so perfect
Love all those layers, Kay!
ReplyDeleteTotally love this card! Immediately pinned it so I can find it again & again! I sure can see the snow hills & they're wonderful. I have the big PB tree stamp & you've inspired me to get it out!
ReplyDeleteSimply elegant Kay, beautiful, love all the design elements you used. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday this week.
ReplyDeleteAmazing card, Kay! Love the colors and the depth you've created! Love your work!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and elegant Kay! Love the way you did the hills. You may not dress elegant as you say but you have a very elegant smile . Im with you thought, just jeans.
