1 3x3 card
1 flower
1 brad
1 piece of ribbon
1 stamped sentiment
and NO PATTERNED PAPER!
Arghhh! No patterned paper... I live on those! So went off to put my thinking cap on and here's my take:
Made use of Inque Boutique stamp and sentiment by Fontwerks. Background sprayed lightly with glimmer mist. Have to say, probably one of the smallest card I've ever made.*****************************
The challenge for Day 83 is 'Make It Match'. We are supposed to decorate the envelope to match the card. Here's mine:
I decided to do a la Tim Holtz' style although I'm no where near his level! Inked and distressed the background with TH distressed inkpads. Did the same with the tag and stamped Xmas trees image from one of his stamp set. Now the red blob is candle wax that was stamped with a 7 Gypsies Xmas seal with the word 'joy'. The background of the card was stamped with Purple Onion Designs postage stamp set and the script image is from 7 Gypsies Nottinghill stamp set. Did the same for the envelope too.

Love it, as always another pretty card.
Love these cards, and it is never too soon to start planning ahead. When I saw the Tim Holtz inspired card I thought of his style before I even read what you'd written - you did a great interpretation of his style for you. Really lovely.
