Here is my latest Christmas creation:
It's very clean and simple, at least for me. My card base is GKD Heavy Base Weight White. I next added a panel of silver mirror paper. It so shiny in real life, but very hard to capture in a photo. I mitered the corners to look like a frame. The main image is Winter Trees. You can find this Gingerloft digi image in the Stitchy Bear Digistamp shop. The frame is Christmas Framed from Create With TLC. It was part of Paulette's recent Winter Club. I merged the two images and printed the merged image onto XPress-It Card. I added light green highlights to the main trees with my Copics, then added tons of Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle! I added New Fallen Snow Glitter to the whole ground area. Some shimmery silver cord and three silver gems from my stash finished my card.
I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches #175 (sketch)
One Stitch At A Time #142 (anything goes, used a store image)
Forever Friends #50 (fortnightly challenge - glitter and sparkle)
Tuesday Throwdown #126 (white Christmas)
Card Makin' Mamas (silver and/or gold)
Here is TMS-175:
Thanks for dropping by again! I truly appreciate you visits, especially when I haven't had as much time lately to reciprocate.

ReplyDeleteCarla, this is gorgeous. The silver is just what all of the white needs to make this a spectacular card. Love it and love these trees.
ReplyDeleteHey Carla, sorry I haven't been by in a bit. Between having wrist problems and the busy season it is hard to get it all done as you already know. We can all catch back up with each other after the holidays. I have this stamp but your design with it just blows me away. So very stunning but looks like a easy to mail card. I took 3 square cards to the post office yesterday and because of the thickness they wanted 1.95 to send....need to save my thick ones to hand out, lol!
ReplyDeleteOff to see what all I have missed on your blog.
Have a great day, Patti
