Bella Cartes Classiques Swap

I made this 5 x 7 card for the November Bellas Cartes Classiques swap and challenge.  I used a free image from Gecko Galz, paper is Crafty Secrets on the card. 
I love the envelope and liner made with Paper Pizzazz and  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Envelopes and Liners SVG.  I asked Lindsay to make a pretty liner SVG and she made the liners and envelopes to match in 3 sizes, I am ecstatic, I just love these!  Thank you so much Lindsay!  The envelopes are not only beautiful ,they are really economical too!  I bought the paper 5 @.95 @Joanns, I make  5 x 7 cards so I get 1 envelope per sheet and 2 liners per sheet of 12 x 12 paper, and that is a lot less than I pay for plain white envelopes!  The SVG is only $3.00, a real bargain!  Thanks again Lindsay! 
I followed the sketch at Bellas Cartes Classiques, and I did a lot of fussy cutting on this card, which is why I added the close up!  The tree, hat and basket of apples have foam tape under the cuts.  The apple and mid air parcel are just cut and pasted.  I added some Marvy liquid snow marker to the snow in the pic.  The beautiful red ribbon with pearls and the pearl brad in the Poinsettia are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  Thank you for looking.  ~Diane  
I am entering this in the Make It Monday Challenge.  This is a great way to meet fellow bloggers, this group is wonderful!

Thank you Lacee and the Bella's

First off I want to thank Lacee from Bella Creations.  Whoo hoo, I won the gorgeous mini kit Heavenly from the June blog hop.  It arrived last night and it is full of goodies that she put together.  I can't wait to dig into it!  Stop by to see her latest kit, it's awesome too!  Speaking of Bella's, I made this card for 3 different groups over at Bella Creations.  Voila Ink has challenged us to make a Fathers Day item, anything but a tag.  It must include some inking and as an optional twist, use masking somewhere on the project.  And the Oh la la group is accepting cards this month so it qualifies for that Bella challenge also!  I used Memento Brown ink to stamp the message "so thankful for you".  "For You" did not stamp out well so I used some inspiration from Pops work and stamped it again on some cardboard.  I like the added texture it gives.  I used a Tim Holtz mask with broken china blue ink also.  The image was provided by  Gecko Galz for the June challenge at Cartes Classiques, another group at Bella Creations The dp is a Graphics Fairy old french map.  I would love to see you join one of the many challenges over at the Bella Creations community, so many wonderful sponsors are there too.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
