Happy Wednesday, stampers! I have a fun little Christmas card for you today....it was easy to make but a challenge to photograph! Let me show you the challenges I used first! Both Christmas Kickstart and Jingle Belles want a pink Christmas, and the Tuesday Morning Sketches has a sketch, obviously:
And so here we go:
I used some beautiful pink and silver foil paper that is so pretty, but hard to capture in a photograph, so I am showing you two angles! The paper is simply adhered to a card front and silver diecut snowflakes are attached to vellum which is then attached to the card:
Here's a "flat" version...you can see the silver foil against the pink a little better.
The uber-cool thing about this card is that when the vellum is adhered to the patterned paper, the foil snowflakes turn WHITE!! Who knew? It made a perfect background for my silver foil snowflakes! So cool!
I added some silver twine and a little sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas, stamped in Blushing Bride and diecut with a Tasteful Labels die to finish it off! Thanks for popping in today!
Cassidy created a pumpkin in art class...too bad it got folded in half, but it's still lovely:
I love the stem and the leaves! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteI've popped over from the Jingle Belles challenge to see your card close up. I too used a foil paper and it's so hard to capture in a photo but you've done a great job. Really lovely card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card and pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, LeAnne! I love a pink Christmas card! The silver foil snowflakes are the perfect touch but I know they do not photograph too easily! Great job with the challenges! Oh, Miss Cassidy's pumpkin is just perfect! She's very talented like her Grammy! TFS Have a wonderful day! :)
