Merry Monday #50

This weekend disappeared way too fast, I am not ready for a new week just yet. Alas I guess it is unavoidable and will arrive whether I am ready or not :).
 
We have a new Merry Monday challenge for you. This week the challenge is all about Elegance.
 
 
This stamp set has always looked elegant to me, and it is probably why I brought it. I love the pretty swirls and flourishes.
 
I started my card with some background texture then added some ribbon. I have had these little snowflake buttons waiting in my stash for as long as I can remember. I heat embossed the tree and sentiment in dark blue and finished with some silver half pearls.

 

Supplies: Natural white, silver and navy card stock, Stampin' Up!-Snow Swirled,Cornish Heritage Farms-Vintage Christmas, misc ribbon,  Dress it up buttons, Recollection pearls, silver twine.
 
Don't forget to stop by Lesley's Always Playing with Paper to see what the design team has created. It will be worth the visit.

Cheers,
Nina

    Hi Nina,

    such a beautiful tree - really is the focal point though I think adding embossing behind this layer is a brilliant idea, keeps the eye going round! Your cards are always so classy.

    Love,
    Sis

    This is my favorite tree image, and I love that you stamped it in blue! The ribbon accent is pretty too!
