Finally had a chance to participate in a PTI blog hop! Haven't done this in awhile, but the day after Thanksgiving is a lazy one for me and perfect day to participate. I steer clear of the Black Friday madness! Here's my card:
And here's the inspiration photo:
I was drawn to the horizontal lines of the stairs which was the inspiration of my lay out. I used the PTI woodgrain impression plate to mimic the hardwood floors. I pulled in the evergreens with the wreath. I used PTI kraft, pure poppy, vintage cream, and black CS to mimic the color scheme. I added some beautiful 7/8" red/ ivory check ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel with a PTI pure poppy button and some natural jute / twine to pull in the gingham pillow. I used the following PTI stamp sets: Wreath for All Seasons and Background Basics: Christmas.
Thanks for hopping by!
