Papertrey Ink November 2015 Blog Hop

Good Morning!

Today I am once again participating in the monthly Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

This card will also be entered in to the Simon Says Work It Wednesday Challenge, Holiday Cards.

 
Here is this month's inspirational photo:
 
 
 

 

 
I was inspired by the colors and the scene.  I kind of made my own little mantle setting.  Taking the 2 Lupines from Papertrey Ink's Flower Favorites (stamp and dies) I created my 2 little Christmas Trees.  Stamped in Always Artichoke ink and die cut out.  I then took a White Wink Of Stella Pen and created a soft snowy look.  Using inks in Bermuda Bay and Pear Pizzaz I stamped 'ornaments' all over using stamps from Flower Favorites (large circle) and Daydreamer (3 dots and single dot).
 

 
I scored 3 lines at the base of the White card stock to mimic the wood of the mantle and mounted that on Silver glitter paper.  Added a bit of Tim Holtz Tinsel Twine to jazz it all up.
 
Really sets a Holiday mood......Fa La La La La
 
Thanks so much for hopping by.
 
Merry Merry!
