Welcome 2016!

Hello Everyone,
I am so excited to get back online with House of Cards! I do hope you enjoyed our blog hop last month and congratulations to all our winners! Now is a new year and a new challenge!! Here is my card for tonight, enjoy!

The texture of the wall was done using a brick die cut.
Texture from the brown and foliage plays off the texture of the brick wall.
House of Cards: January Challenge

As you can see, I took this challenge quite literally. I wanted the card to highlight the architectural elements and foliage; this is why I left the sentiment understated.
Detail showing the brick wall. Some bricks were given added texture by accenting some brick using deeper shades of color.

Again I am so happy to be here celebrating another term as a design team member with House of Cards. Our challenges will prove to be thought provoking and fun! So I would like to invite you to come on over and join us this month. Thank you so much for stopping by and I am looking forward to see what you create. Until then take care and see you at House of Cards.
and....  HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

All the best,
Shawna
