Viva la Merry

Hi friends! It's been a long week of sickness for me, but it's finally Friday!  And Friday means there's a new Viva la Verve sketch posted.  This week's sweet sketch is hosted by Charmaine.  I loved the possibilities with all the straight lines.

I still had that inspiration graphic from this week's Card Concept challenge in  my mind, so rummaged a bit in my bin of vintage Christmas ephemera and came out with some goodies to pair with the watercolored pine cones I made in the video I posted on Monday.

Since the stamping with the Pinecone Christmas set had already been done, I simply sponged all my layers with the antique linen distress ink and roughed them up a bit with a paper distresser.  I looped a bit of wide striped ribbon for my long horizontal panel and hung a teeny star ornament below it all. Super easy... which is just what my loopy cough medicine self requested on a Thursday night!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful start to your weekend.
