Oh my word. Ever have those times where you can't make anything work for you? Well, that was me playing with this week's sketch at Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturdays! Mercy me, this sketch was my nemesis! I am not sure why I could not find my mojo!
I did have fun once I got my idea rolling...this was my 3rd attempt with different stamps/themes/papers! ;) My favorite part was playing with the Bo Bunny swirl! I rarely add flourishes to my cards...and I just love the added dimension.
I am not 100% certain I love the tree with the crystal effects on it. I am bummed that it seemed to smear the ink a bit underneath. On the other hand, since it is up on dimensionals, the crystal effects seems to strengthen the design.
Stamps: Season of Joy and sentiment (TAC)
Paper: Retired SU DSP, Whisper White, Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Vellum
Ink: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: SU Ribbon, Bo Bunny Flourish, Crystal Effects, CTMH Rhinestones, Stickles, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, corner rounder
Are you floored? I am actually posting Holiday cards in October! We won't mention that I have yet to post a Thanksgiving card. ;) Thanks for dropping in! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Very cute Siobhan. Always love the quilt type cards.
I think it's pretty awesome, I love the tree!
I think this is absolutely adorable! How is Alaska? We are moving too, we think . . . what a mess things have been. And yesterday found out DH lost his job too, so I haven't been blog hopping much lately, but will get back into it.
I love the tree..Fabulous card and wonderful colors.
Fabulous! You did a fantastic job with the sketch! Thanks for playing along with us at SSDS!
Scrappy Love,

I really like the way the Crystal Effects looks on the tree. Fantastic card!
What a gorgeous card! I think the tree looks great. I love the quilting on the background piece.I use that technique sometimes myself to use up old DSP bits.
even without your mojo you rocked this card! Love everything about it... but the tree just draws the eye!
