Hello to Thursday my friends.
I have a fun card today using an unusual colour combination. Real Red and Emerald Envy play well together, but who would have thought about adding some Pool Party to the mix. Well here it is....
Once you pull out the paper and start to build , this really becomes festive.
I did try a few things with the little drummer boy but decided to keep it simple.
I think the leaves in this set may be mistletoe but hey....creative license , right. I remember a shrub in my yard a few years ago that got the most beautiful berries at this time of year.
The "glittery" star up top is from the Glitter Acrylic Shapes, made in the 2016-2018 In Colors.
I used a Marvelous Marker in Real Red to colour the berries and layered the sentiment over the instrument. I had cut out the harp as well but thought things got a little busy.
Now inside I kept things pretty simple but left room for that message we all like to send.
I call this framing and you can really achieve some beautiful results if you give it a try. Sometimes a little goes a long way.
Now off to the rest of the hop, have fun and I really appreciate all your comments. I wish I could respond to each of you separately but my Typepad version doesn't allow that. But know I read them all.

I love that little drummer boy, and the "framing" on the inside makes a beautiful place to write a message. Pretty!
