It suddenly seems to be September already and although I've done most of my crafty shopping for Christmas I haven't really started playing and designing yet. I thought the best way to motivate myself is to make Christmas Friday. Therefore todays creative offering is a Christmas card. I intend to try to post something with a Christmas theme every Friday!
Todays offering is a card, this was made out of the scrap from my design team card for HobbyCutz that I posted on Monday.I simply layered the sheet I cut the snowflakes out of, Spellbinders 2013 Snowflake pendent, with foam pads, to a background piece. The background is a sheet of PMD Navy card which I embossed with a Darice A4 folder and then rubbed over the embossing with Silver Pearl gilding wax from Creative Expressions.
I wrapped a piece of woven ribbon down the side (really to hide the blank bit!) and mounted it onto a silver card blank and decorated the card with gems and a leftover snowflake.
Finally I added the laser cut peace that I tested the Gilding flakes on.Enjoy...

Gorgeous card John, well designed although you say it was leftovers. You must have a good eye to spot potential in a piece of card. Love everything about this, the embossing, gilding wax etc so lovely.

Hi John. Lovely card. You wouldn't know that it is made out of scraps would you, very clever. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHola John
ReplyDeleteits a festive display of gorgeousness!
I've done one using the cut out piece on top but its not elegant like this one. One day, I will learn to do elegant rather than elephant! (that will only make sense if you have seen my blog post today lol !)
Have a great day!
