I combined the absolutely GORGEOUS papers from the Base Coat 12x12 paper pad with some other awesome papers from Teresa Collins for my card.
Confession: I love the papers. Lots. BUT...I didn't buy them to make cards. Nope. I totally bought that entire paper 12x12 paper pad to use as the backdrops for my card photos. Yes, my friends, my secret is out! I, indeed, do not have all of those cool walls of brick and wood in my home. HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, though, if you need awesome photo backdrops, this paper pad is PERFECTION.
I used the awesome Simon Says Stamp Holiday Frames Die set and did some hand stitching with DMC gold thread, with which I have fallen head over heels in love. Shhh! Don't tell my husband. K? K. Whew! That was close!
I have good news. YOU, yes, YOU, my friends, could potentially win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store! WHAT?! Yup. Totes, you guys. Totes. All you h ave to do is create a project using 'Bling it On!' as your inspiration and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. We know you are awesome and we want to SEE IT! Dude. Do it. For reals, though.
Love this fun card! The design with all the layering is awesome and love your adorable, blingy tree!
