Boho Strings

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family.  If you were brave enough to venture out in the madness that is Black Friday, I hope you survived and spent the weekend recovering!  That scene is most definitely not for me!  Today I am sharing a card that didn't quite go as planned, but I like how it turned out just the same.  RG Avenue released both of these beautiful sets "Boho Strings" and "Song Lyrics" last month and as usual, I'm a little late to the game. . . What I really wanted to achieve was a Christmas themed card with the guitar and flowers.  However, my flower selection (mums, I believe) and color choice completely say "FALL!"  So. . .  fall it is.  Technically winter doesn't start until December 21st, so it's all good!

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Rich Cherry sugar stock.  Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle dies from Gina Marie Designs, I cut the first layer from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I stamped four different song lyrics on the card in Rich Cherry sugar cube ink.  I heat embossed the guitar on Sweet Cane sugar stock in gold embossing powder and fussy cut it out.  I colored the flowers in Copic markers and fed it through my Scan and Cut to cut the bouquet for me.  I adhered the flowers over the guitar and adhered both to the card with 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Here are the "Song Lyrics" and "Boho Strings" stamp sets I used to make today's card:

The flowers are from the Bold Bouquet digital stamp set.  If you missed my recent post talking about digital stamps, please read here. 

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!
