Today’s day 7 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge and today’s challenge is all about wreaths.
There were so many gorgeous wreath products I could have used, however I just couldn’t resist pairing the unexpected combination of the holly dies from the Reindeer Fun dies and the Season of Elegance 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper.
This close up image shows the beautiful gold leafing on the DSP.
Other material used are the “Peace & JOY” sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set (heat embossed in gold and die cut using the Spotlight on Nature dies), the Distressed Brick embossing folder, the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ (6.4 mm) Satin Ribbon, gold ribbon from the Gold & Silver 3/16″ (4.8 mm) Trim Combo Pack and Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
We’re up to day 5 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge and today’s challenge is a sketch challenge.
The wonderful thing about a sketch design is that you can use whatever products you have at hand as long as you follow the general sketch layout.
I’ve used the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty DSP, Season of Elegance DSP and products from the Nests of Winter Suite, including the Nests of Winter DSP and the Winterly Tree Top dies.
The focal image was super easy to make as the birds are from the Nests of Winter DSP, die cut using the Winterly Tree Top dies, so there’s no stamping involved!
The gold fronds are die cut from the Season of Elegance DSP and the brand new online exclusive, the Brushed Silver & Gold Foil Specialty Paper. I also added a thin strip of the new Gold Foil Specialty Paper to highlight the angled line between the DSP on the back of the card.
This photo below shows the gorgeous shine.
The “Merry Christmas” sentiment is from the Humble home stamp set, die cut out with a Stylish Shapes die.
The inside of the card has also been decorated using another image die cut from the Nests of Winter DSP and a left over scrap of DSP.
I’ll be back tomorrow with the AWH Coklour creations blog hop showcasing Granny Apple Green and it will also be another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
