Well she was sweet enough to send me some to give it a try on my own. Now this first one I didn't quite use it the same way that she does, but I loved this scene on this label and decided to color it with pencils instead of stamping over it. Although I did use a butterfly stamp set and dies that I won from Verve, not to long ago to go with the label.
Wine label -- colored w/pencils
Verve -- Butterfly grace stamp set and Graceful Butterflies dies
Starform-- transparent glitter gold stickers
Martha Stewart -- border punch
This was a sympathy card but I didn't end up putting any sentiment on it.
I should have the deck finished tonight, YAH!!! well the floor part I have all the spindles to the railing to do but that can be done after I bring everything back up on the deck. Then it will be time to start the front porch railings. It is a lot of work but I am loving the results!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, I appreciate you leaving a comment to let me know too, I know how busy everyone is this time of year.

good luck finishing the deck, i could not take on a project like that...i just don't have it in me!!! i hope it's not too hot!!
So pretty Connie! I admire her cards too. Your card is lovely!
A lovely card.
So pleased to read the deck is coming along well ...
All the best Jan
Oh, I would put this card in my favorite pile, it is so pretty :)
What a pretty card and such a creative way to use a wine label! I am always trying to save them, with limited success. Some are little works of art! Staining the deck is hard work - I know. Heating pads come in handy when you are done :) xx Karen
Lovely card in a soft blue,love the color!Blessings.
Connie, what a great idea to use wine labels. You did such a lovely job of coloring it. Very pretty! And congratulations on your porch painting! xo
Oh how clever! This is so beautiful, love the whole concept....maybe I should drink more wine, you know, to help the crafting cause and all! Very beautiful!
Such a pretty card! And how smart to color the wine label - it's so lovely!
WOW what a great idea and your card is beautiful Connie! I'm hopping over to check out her blog ... thanks for the link!
I can't help but admire wine labels and anything that I can picture on a card. I rarely save them, though. You did a beautiful job with this one... always thinking and creating! Bet you'll be glad when that deck is finished, and your back will be glad, too!
Aren't you so creative? I love the wine bottle label as part of your collage, Connie! Beautifully done, and such delicate papers to complement it! hugs, de
This is a fantastic idea, I just love your card. Pretty soft colours and papers.
As you can see, I'm 329 e-mails behind LOL. Love how you worked the wine label into your card. I followed your link and enjoyed seeing more artwork with labels. I have a few girlfriends that would love to receive a card with a wine label.
