Another card make-over

I'd made this card originally to be a part of this set of cards, but when I added some cards with the string of lights stamped in black, these lost a bit of their luster. I figured all they needed was a little dressing up and decided to do so, using this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Layered Mats and Frames.


I used PTI cardstock (new leaft, aqua mist), stamps (holiday lights) and die (mat stack #4). The patterned paper is October Afternoon and the scalloped edge is recycled off of a package of The Girl's Paperie stickers.

Thanks for looking!

    Cute card. the PP sure does dress it up. I love the stitching. I need to do more stitching on my cards. Those scallops on the bottom are cute too!

    Hmmm, I knew I should have ordered this set! Another lovely card and the sentiment fits perfectly. I often find it hard to fit Merry & Bright onto a card.

    Great card, Leigh. Aqua Mist is an unexpected calming addition to the bright traditional colors. Fabulous positioning of the stamps in the framed opening.
