What attracted me to this card of Zahra's (see left) were the strips of different coloured card, placed together and embossed. I also thought the layout would really suit a Christmas card.
So here's my version!
The bauble is from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and I gold heat embossed it onto Vanilla Cardstock. It has a beautiful shimmery finish (hard to capture in the photograph) because I painted it with Shimmer Paint. I placed some White Frost Shimmer Paint onto an acrylic block that I use as a palette and added a couple of drops of Shaded Spruce Ink Refill, creating a lighter shade and a darker shade by adding more or less of the ink.
I also used a little of the Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint in a few areas.
I used my snips to hand cut out the bauble before gluing it to the card front.
Both the stamped and die-cut parts of the greeting are from the Merry Christmas To All bundle.
To soften the empty space, I added some Faceted Dots.

| A colourful and playful Christmas Card featuring Shimmer Paint and the Tin Tile embossi |
The cardstock strips are Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce. I attached the 1.5" strips to a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and then ran the piece through the Big Shot in the new Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder. I then adhered this to the Thick Very Vanilla card base and added the bauble, ribbon, label and the word "Christmas" cut from Gold Foil Sheet.

Hey, Stephanie, snap we have cases the same card. I must say yours is so stunning as usual I will add.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have used it as a Christmas themed card with traditional and non traditional colours with the extra thought as you always put into your cards with the softer lighter colours to match the deep colours. Just beautiful
Thank you, Christine! I always appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments and the time that you take to do that. It doesn't go unnoticed. xx
