Sylish & Splattered

Challenge week continues for me with today's Christmas card.  For some reason I have really needed a jumpstart to work on my Christmas cards.  Searching the web for challenges has been really helpful!

 

I combined two challenges to make this fairly simple card.  Try Stamping on Tuesday Sketch #143



#143

And the CASual Friday challenge to use embossing.  Actually most of the cards I have made in the past week have had embossing on them.  It's funny how I turn to one technique and use it several different ways for a week or two then move on to the next thing.

First I made the card in blue.

Then I made it again in red and filmed it.

It's hard to capture the sparkle, dimension and colors of these cards, especially with the gloomy weather we have here, so I'll give you another look at the red. 

I hope you will give this card a try.  Imagine it with hearts punched out for Valentines day, or use some DSP and punch out snowflakes.  The possibilities are endless.


Creative Blessings,
