Another Christmas card to add to my stash for 2010! This week's uses Kristin's lovely JUGS Color Challenge #16:
and Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #52:
I used a retired SU set called To You & Yours and a CHF sentiment from Christmas Expressions. Both were stamped in Versamark first, then SU classic inks and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The dove was watercolored with Blush Blossom ink and liberally sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter! So pretty! Some BG Wassail papers complemented the Bravo Burgundy card which was also wheeled with the Baroque Borders wheel. A little bling is always nice---this adds just a little touch of special!
- Stamps: To You & Yours, Baroque Borders wheel, Christmas Expressions, CHF
- Paper: Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, BG Wassail
- Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Basic Gray, Versamark, Blush Blossom
- Acc: Aquapainter, Taffeta Ribbon, Clear EP & Heat Tool, Eyelet Punch, Nesties, DD Glitter, Rhinestone

ReplyDeleteLeAnne!!! This is sooo elegant...such a lovely Christmas card ♥ What a fantastic idea to start early...I NEED to jump on that bandwagon seeing how I didn't send any this year :|
ReplyDeleteI have that dove stamp and I swear, your use of it on this card is by FAR the prettiest I've ever seen! I might have to CASE this one :) Your patterned paper with the baroque wheeled background behind it just adds to the pure elegance of your card. Oooh...I need to go back and see where you got that ribbon. This challenge made me realize I have ZERO gray ribbon! Tragedy considering my immense collection! LOL
Hope you are having a wonderful, long weekend. Thanks for playing along with my challenge ;]
