Hello my fellow
bloggers!
How have you been so far?
I hope you are having a creative week.
I had a wonderful
time creating a Christmas card for you, it’s something simple but elegant.
You do not need any
too many dies or embellishments to make this happen.
So here we go
I love shabby colors
and it can certainly be used to create something elegant!
Even though this
looks simple I have used about 3 subtle layers of cardstock and design paper to
make the card more dimensional.
The flowers are
handmade. I have used the sizzix
circle die to cut out different sizes of circles and then created my rolled
roses.
But you can do this
with the itsy
bitsy swirly rose die too! They are much less work I must say, and you get
some cute swirly roses!
I love this frame!
It’s a chipboard one and the design is totally regal!
I have painted it copper
for that lovely muted shine. You can use any type of paint , spray them with
mists or glitter them , the possibilities are endless.
This frame is called Chipboard
Shapes Ornate Oval Frame and its so affordable!!!
When i started
collecting my chipboard elements I loved what itsy bitsy has as they are very
lovely intricate designs specially the frames!
You can probably see
that I have used some dimensional tape to lift off my background off the card
base. This looks very beautiful and gives your cards some added dimension.
You can do this with
any type of card or project it adds some character to it.
I have used vellum
under the frame where I have stamped the sentiment MERRY with
red pigment ink, and embossed it with pearl
white embossing powder.
This has muted down
the red but I love the effect!
I have also used some
pearls in the flowers and sequin to finish the card.
The leaves are a sizzix
die cut colored with alcohol
markers and then used my embossing ball stylus to make the crushed effect!
Finally here is
another look at the card!
Hope that you enjoyed
my creation and would try your hands on something similar!
Thanks for reading!
See you soon!
