What We REALLY Made

Here's the gate-fold card we ended up making at the workshop last night. I wanted to use the Big Shot, so I changed the other card around a bit to incorporate the textured background.  Naturally, since the background was embossed, I needed to keep the image kind of simple.  The Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations stamp made it easy-peasy.  Image and sentiment, all rolled into one!


I think I may have a class on bow-tying sometime soon.  I was surprised that half the ladies couldn't tie a bow with the ¼" grosgrain!  I won't mention any names, lol.  :-)
