Inspiration: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (Anything Goes)
Simple Stories has really hit it out of the ballpark with its fall collections. Winter Cottage was really high on my wish list. The colors and style really remind me of the look of Crate Paper. I even went for the stamp set, which I rarely do with this company, but the small handdrawn images really appealed to me.
They were the starting point of this card. Because I wanted to feature them, I pulled out the Foursquare Backdrop Portrait die set from Lawn Fawn. I created the frame out of the star pattern and filled in the square with four different patterns. The images were colored with Copic markers and added to the panels with dimensional adhesive.
At the bottom, I created the "Happy Holidays" sentiment with the Joyeux Noël dies from Stampin' Up! and the Star of Light stamp set (on a tag that comes from the same die set). The larger gems come from the Pumpkin and Spice Say it in Crystals collection, which happen to match this line nicely.
I decorated the envelope and inside of the card with the remaining stamped images I had left and a few stickers from the sticker book. This is the first project I was putting together with this line and I'm looking forward to making more with it.
