INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB314 CHRISTMAS PICNIC

Happy Thursday!

These past weeks have just flown by and it's almost mid of December! How are your Christmas preparations coming along? This year I'm not prepared at all...yikes...thank goodness I have a few more days to prepare.

Anyways, I'm stopping by with a card for the new Inspired By...

Here is this weeks #IB314 inspiration photo along with a sketch for you to play with....

My card was inspired by the colors and the "picnic" theme.

I immediately thought of my fun Char-cut-erie Board Die from The Greetery. I also used the Fancy Finger Food Dies, and the Hug in a Mug Sweet Treats Dies. The sentiment is from the Dear Santa Stamp Set and matching die.
