Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
Well we had our first killing frost last night. What that means that anything from our gardens that were hanging on are gone completely for this season. My hubby was out in his gardens today cleaning up and pulling plants and preparing the gardens for winter.
It was a bountiful year for our flower and vegetable gardens this year. Now it's time to let the ground rest and settle in for the Fall and Winter Seasons. We turn the clocks back this Saturday night. So starting Sunday it will start getting dark a lot earlier.
Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #854. I was the hostess and I chose gold, cherry cobbler and shaded spruce as my color trio. Optional was to make a Christmas card.
I used several CottageCutz dies to create my Christmas card. The wreath is the Vine Wreath with Berries die and I placed the Nativity Noel in the center. I framed the card with the Pierced Wide Rectangle die. The background paper is from the Stampin'-Up "plush poinsettia specialty paper". It's a vellum paper and I thought it worked well for the wreath background.
To finish up, I scattered a few sequins and my card is done. Well that's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless.
card details:
| Paper: shaded spruce, cherry cobbler, plush poinsettia specialty paper (Stampin'-Up) |
| Paper Size: A2 |
| Accessories: vine wreath with berries, nativity noel, pierced wide rectangle frame dies (CottageCutz), gold sequins (Darice) |
