Toile Winter Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

I just noticed that my Chinese Red Bud tree is bursting out with flower buds and it suddenly gave me spring fever.  So, I'm thinking this might be my last winter theme card.

I love this toile paper that I purchased from Scrapbook.com.  It brings back memories of my childhood days during the winter months.  A slimline card is just the thing to showcase this beautiful paper.

I like the look of the small tag mounted horizontally between the two images because it draws attention to the long vertical tag.  A little acrylic dot placed on each of the images gives a bit of dimension to the card.  

I didn't have a sentiment the size I wanted so I used my computer to make one.  I like the larger size to help fill the white space of the slimline card.  Also, to give some color to the inside of the card, I place a strip of the dotted card stock on the left side of the sentiment.  A nice finishing touch, I think.  Measurements and info below.
