Well Emily, those breezy 'hoods make for a lovely color combination...with the lightest touch of teal! Come have a look.
I couldn't resist spiffing up my weathered old bird cages with Santa's hat from Stamps, Etc. I was recently given a box of odds and ends and this hat and those 8 little stockings from my mantle card last week were the images I chose to keep. I stamped the B Line Design cages onto GP white cs with TH di brushed corduroy and NB charcoal dye inks. The thin panels within the cages are embossed with clear powder. I inked Merry Christmas (unknown co.) with ChalkBox lipstick red directly onto the largest bird cage. They are cut and popped on foam squares. The elegant flocked flourished 'wall paper' is from MM. My card base is SU red riding hood that has CHF aged sheet music scrapblock inked in Adirondack red pepper. The Santa hats were colored with COPICS and yes, there is some teal touches on them.
Thanks for your comments, everyone, hope this weeks smooth sailing for you!
