Good morning to you! Happy November! The beginning of the month means our Crafty Secret's Design Team challenge and linky party! Our challenge is to create something holiday/winter themed. With the weather we've had in Chicago lately, it already feels like December! ;)
I used this pretty little gal from the Season's Greetings stamp set. I colored it with Copic markers. I added a piece of vellum behind her that was done with a stencil and embossing paste. I embossed it in silver.
I added some glittery jingle bells and a sparkly snowflake. I have all the details below on how I layered my card below.
The paper is also from Crafty Secrets and is part of their digital paper packs.
I bought a sheet of glittery paper from Die Cuts With a View. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is incredibly sparkly in person. :)
I layered the image on top of the silver piece with tacky glue.
Then I layered it on top of the vellum, also with a bit of tacky glue.
I cut the snowflakes with my die cut machine.
I added a thick coating of glossy accents.
Gave it a sprinkling of glitter.
Adhered it to the card. The smaller snowflake was adhered with a dimensional foam circle.
And one last time, here is the final product.
Be sure to check out the other designers' blogs for more Crafty Secret's inspiration!
Have a great day my friends!
GORGEOUS creation Michele! LOVE the pink & silver! The layering and sparkle make it so festive and beautiful! Great job! Hugs to you & your family!
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate colouring, so delicate and pretty. I've seen the chunky glitter paper you used and I agree, it sparkles like anything. This is absolutely gorgeous Michele, a real stunner.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card! I love that it's done in tones of pink and not traditional Christmas colors. I need to learn to think more outside of the box. Your creations always inspire! Blessings~ Birgit
