A New Card...Finally!

Well it's been forever since I've had the chance to be creative. I just got this new Hero Arts Winking Reindeer stamp...it's so whimsical, I love it!
I loved THIS card by Lucy, her paper-pieced reindeer provided the inspiration for my little card. I'm really stuck on the neutral colors these days so the papers from Basic Grey's "Basics Manila" along with the polka dotted paper from Cosmo Cricket's "Mitten Weather" were perfect. I added a pocket inside so this can hold a gift card.....

Proverbs 3:13-15, 18 ~ "Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly."

Thanks for your visit,
blessings,
nancy

  20. That is one beautiful card Nancy - what a wonderful combo of every element in perfect harmony!
    I was thinking of you when I was in the U.S. I had taken the book I promised you with me to post, but found it too complicated, so I will send it to you soon from here. I met up with my Norwegian sister in the Lord and told her about you and the resemblance you have with each other.
    Hope you are keeping well and seeing the photos of your dogs looks like you have been having some nice weather too!
    Blessings
