Hello friends. I have a new Christmas card that I made for several challenges.
ETA: My card was one of the top 3 at CYHTP.
I used a new to me die from Spellbinders - Simon Hurley Vintage Layered Ornaments. I die cut the plain ornament once from white, and the detailed ornament once with silver glitter, and once with SSS Audrey Blue. I shaded the edges of the blue ornament with Bermuda Bay ink, glued to the white base ornament and then filled all the openings with the pieces from the silver glitter ornament (a little tedious but it looks great). The ornament toppers and hanging strings are also cut from silver glitter. I mounted the ornaments with foam tape to a white panel embossed with Spellbinders Scattered Christmas EF. The pine branches are cut twice from white using an older Diemond Die. The sentiment from Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink, cut with the matching die, and then mounted with foam tape. I added a thin Bermuda Bay mat and then glued to the white card base. I also added a clear rhinestone gem to the center of each ornament.
I will add this to Color Hues Challenge - Teal and Silver
and to Just Us Girls Challenge Word Week - Winter.
and Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge (did not use the optional theme)
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

I'm working on my card for Color Hues and it looks an awful lot like yours, JoAnn. Your ornaments are lovely and the embossed background is perfect with them. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteWow, JoAnn this is just beautiful! Love those ornaments and the white snowy branch they hang from. So happy to spot this in our JUGs gallery!
ReplyDeleteThis is as pretty as can be, JoAnn. I love doing inlay work as I think the tedious work is worth the reward. Every element of this card works so well together. Wonderful way to showcase my colors! Thanks for playing at Color Hues.
