Hello Friends! I am popping in today to share a card I created with the current Color Hues challenge in mind. With Scarlet and Green as their color duo it was a no brainer to make a Christmas card.
This was so simple but so fun! And boy does it ever have a lot of dimension.
See what I mean? No envie for this one folks!
I used a cover plate die to cut the beautiful holly background from green cardstock and then adhered it directly to a white card base. I die cut the bow from a really, really, really old die set. To create the beautiful arch to my bow I first spritzed it with some water and then worked it around the base of a Copic marker until it was pliable enough to adhere down. The bow was adhered to the ribbon with a craft glue dot. For my final touches I added in some gold foil pearls. You may notice that I left off a sentiment. I thought it stood well on it's own and will stamp something on the inside....if it ever leaves my hands. *wink*
Supplies:
Poppystamp - holly die and stencil set
Dear Lizzy - ribbon and bow die set
Fun Stampers Journey - gold pearls
As I sit here still admiring it I'm thinking that I may just prop it up on my bar and use it as decor. Ha!
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
