I used Cindy Lawrence's coloring of this gorgeous image as my guide and once I was finished coloring I decided on a layout, using the 200th sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch. I was also inspired by the photo at Card Concept and cut my banners from gingham paper to match the chair in the photo. The colors and foliage also inspired me from the photo and I'm calling this card Clean & Graphic. The winter colors and warm feel to the Curtain Call inspiration were also reflected in my card and finally, I'm linking up to Addicted to Stamp & More's Holiday theme and the Christmas theme at AAA Cards.
Thanks for visiting.
