Happy Saturday, everyone! I have another Christmas card to share today and it's for three challenges: the Color Throwdown challenge this week is red, white and kraft; the Jingle Belles want to see text, and the As You See It challenge has a recipe:
So here we go:
I began by diecutting the Wisdom Tree from Real Red cardstock, adhering a piece of adhesive sheet on the back. This die is a bit fussy and I didn't want to try to glue everything down, so the adhesive sheet was helpful. I adhered it to a piece of Crumb Cake that had been embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that says "merry & bright', then put everything on a Basic White card base. I suppose I should describe this as "over the top" again, what with that big gingham bow, but I wanted to get the "plaid" in there for the AYSI challenge and that's all I had, LOL. I finished it off with a red rhinestone on the star:
On the inside, I stamped a sentiment and tree image from Peaceful Pines; I love this effect:
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I absolutely adore this card. I'm going to try to CASE it using my mini alphabet dies. If it doesn't look good then I'll search for the Cottage Cutz. I know there's one out there at full price but I do like my bargains! Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful combination of elements!! Right down to the inside sentiment with the tree.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, you had me at that gorgeous gingham bow!! Never 'over the top' and adds such darling whimsy to this seriously adorable card!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this Christmas card is just delightful! There is nothing I like better than the combo of Crumb Cake and bright red! And with the gingham, it takes that country combination to a new level of delight! That embossing is really cool! Thanks for cooking up our recipe at As You See It Challenges!
