Ok, let's start the Christmas cards.
Doing challenges is the way I make my cards every year.
I don't like makinging many of the same cards.
I have been noticing this color challange thing going on
on the Daily Maker Blog
and thought it would be fun to follow it for this month.
So the challenge for today is to create a background.
Here is the background I created.
I used this pine leave stencil first on the
background panel and stamped the sentiment.
Next I took the swiss dot embossing folder
and rand the background panel through
the big shot and this is the result.
For the colors of my card I choose the
with the fun color that was me for Halloween,
but I love making non traditional Christmas cards.
The eyecatcher is the bauble on the card
(which is a SU! die) with a bling gemstone
in the heart of it.
Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!
Love your festive holiday card and the colors you picked. Great background to compliment the ornament. :)
