Hi there!
Hope your weekend went well. My family and I went crabbing last sunday. Well, it wasn't so good. We only caught 24 crabs. The owners of the crabbing place, called Sea Breeze, told us that in early May people were catching crabs by the bushels! However, the sauce was delicious and the kids loved cracking crabs!!!
I have a few cards to share with you but I won't bombard you with them all tonight.
Tonight's card is for
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge
and I am also using the color palette from
CR84FN
Here is what I created...
Yes, it's a Christmas card! The pine cones have quickly become a new favorite stamp set of mine from Waltzingmouse Stamps! To create the backgrounds I used shadow inks from Hero Arts, soft brown and soft sand. For the top panel, I stamped over the pincone images with sour apple chalk ink from Color Box. The crochet trim is Recollections.
All cardstock, sentiment and twine are from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment was stamped using Chestnut roan chalk ink from Color Box. The silver bells, gems and ribbon are from Michaels. The branches were cut using Spellbinders dies. I added some straight stitches and inked the edges.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'll be back soon with some more cards!
Michelle

Beautiful Christmas card Michelle, a great use of these pine cones!
Thanks for joining us at Cr84FN this week!
Wonderful pine cones, Michelle. Love seeing Christmas cards in non traditional colors.
What a pretty card love the colours. Really love those bells - though a little tricky to post I'm guessing. I've been looking for bells for the August WMSCCC - Sleigh Bells Ring!
A lovely card. Nice colour combinationa and I love the pinecones and the little bells.
This is so pretty - I love the soft colors that give this a vintage feel (to me). The pinecones are perfectly placed and I love the bit of bling. I only went crabbing once and it was great fun!
So pretty Michelle! I love the beautifully stamped WM pinecones and the sprig of pine! Thanks so much for joining along with CR84FN and the WMSC :)
Glad you and your family had fun crabbing despite the smaller haul:). I looooooooove your card!!!! The colors are so beautiful for a Christmas card!! These cooler temps have finally put me in the mood to create them:)
So fresh and fun, Michelle! I absolutely love the pinecones in those colors! Such a light wintery feel to this, and the embellishing is my favorite kind...twine, lace, a bit of sparkle, and the very necessary JINGLE BELL! Such a pretty card!
Oh wow!! stunning!! pinning this!!!
So Pretty with the blue and tan - I just love the pinecones!
This is so pretty love the pine ones in the softer colors. The silver bells go so well with this card.beautiful Michelle
There is just something so lovely about the colors of your card. Still Christmasy but softer and so dreamy. Total gorgeousness (is that even a word?).

hiya Michelle - this is fabulous! Love how you created such a fabulous soft tone. What a well-deserved Top Mouse spot. Congrats on your win! :)
So soft and lovely, I love the die cut embellishment at the top, it adds elegance to the whole card. Those colors are worthy of interior design for a sanctuary of a bedroom, I agree with others here - drool. {grin}
