Inspired By #194C ~ Welcome Friends

 

 

Hello and welcome, friends! 

Welcome to another Inspired By challenge!

I was inspired by our Christmas photo this week.

Those sage greens, rich browns, and pops of red!



I recently purchase the beautiful Cathedral Die from The Greetery and couldn't wait to use it! It's die cut from wood grained patterned paper (MFT). I opted not to do stained glass. Instead, I added a panel of vellum so the Christmas wreath (SSS) adorning it would be the focal point. I hope you don't grow tired of me using these Christmas sentiments and dies (also from The Greetery). But golly, I just love them to bits!

Thanks for spending some of your day with me. Lets go see what the team has to inspire us and then maybe you will be inspired to play along too!

I loved that die from the moment I saw it! And I really love how you used it without the stained glass - it's a perfect backdrop for the wreath!

Lisa, I missed my chance to cut a few of these windows while at Marcia's - but I know I'll have more chances. Until then, I'm loving it on your beautiful card with the browns, minty goodness, and pops of Christmas red!
BTW I'll never tire of these scripty beauties!

This is absolutely GORGEOUS Lisa!! I love that stained glass window die too, and your wreath looks FABULOUS against it! Such pretty soft colors too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

The soft colors are so pretty, Lisa, and I love the vellum in the window so it doesn't distract from that dainty pine cone wreath.

Awesome sentiments that need to be used over and over, Lisa! I doubt I can get sick of them. Love the embossed background and pretty arched window with the wreath!

This is just gorgeous beyond words, Lisa. Love those embossed branches in the background. That Cathedral window is stunning as is the wrather adorning it (I tried to find it in SSS Store. Is it still available? Would you kindly let me know the name of it? slan dot zal at verizon dot net) The colors are so wonderful together and so Christmas-y. I love everything about it.
