Earth, Nature, Life

Evening all! Well, my make and take Christmas card party was a success. Everyone seemed to have a good time...and I sold lots of cards and got several orders. Now when I sell cards, I get to buy toys. So I took a little of my stash and bought some spellbinder die cuts. I was dying to play with my new toys, so I pulled out my crayons, as my husband calls them, and put on my creative cap.  Ike's world had Winter Robin as a  freebie so I thought I would give it a try. So here is what I came up with:

Here is what I did:

I used brown card stock for the base of my card. Matted it with card stock I had in my stash. I am not sure where I got it, but I knew I had it and would work perfect for a nature card. I used my Spellbinders - Classic Scalloped Squared to cut out my brown card stock and grunge'd it up with my sandpaper.
I then tacked it down with 4 brads and added my handmade flowers and sentiments.

My LIFE tag worked perfectly with the overall Nature theme along with my handmade flowers and leaves. I added the green gems in the middle of the flower to finish it off.

I was so excited about my finished card, that I didn't realize Ike's current theme is "It Feels Like Winter.". YIKES. Well, I guess this could be a winter theme. Well, I am going to enter it anyway, as I did use the Freebie and I think the card came out Great. Perhaps I will make another one and this time color my Robin Red.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Ends Dec 9 - Ikes World - # 6 Feels like winter (Freebie used)

Well, I guess I better get back to work and complete those orders! Have a great evening everyone.
