Hi peeps! I am starting off the new year with another Christmas card...I know, you're probably sick of them, but I start right away for this year's Christmas! And I promise, I'll have some different holidays featured real soon! Anyway, the Jingle Belles' challenge this week is "No Time Like the Presents".....feature a present or gift wrap on your card! I had been eyeing this paper for a card while I was wrapping gifts, so I snagged a little piece and went to work....easiest card ever!
The paper itself is almost like a kraft paper, so the printed design is not crisp, but soft and hazy. I just cut out a piece, mounted it on a black mat and a Sahara Sand card that is a little smaller than 4 1/4" square. I stamped a sentiment from Stitched with Cheer and added a layer of snowy glitter, and it was done!
I did do a little more stamping on the inside, using Endless Wishes and Stitched with Cheer, watercoloring the banner a bit with Dapper Denim ink:
Cassidy got a spy kit for Christmas....one of two things she actually asked for. I wonder on whom she is going to spy????!!!
Thanks for popping in today!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! It looks like a stamped image covered in Dazzling Diamonds to me. :) Cassidy is likely to start reporting on your every move! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, LeAnne! and I'd have to start behaving if I had that little sleuth 'round my house! You, I'm sure, have nothing to be concerned about! Happy New YEar!!!

ReplyDeleteVery sweet card. The images are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is now 34, but I remember when she walked around with her notebook and magnifying glass. One year she dressed up as Sherlock Holmes; none of the kids had a clue who she was!
Have fun Cassidy!
A sweet card with adorable images!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love when you can use wrapping paper on cards too? I love that stippled look. Great card.
