We have new challenge for you today over at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. It’s Bonnie's Challenge this week - Create a Christmas card with star(s).
My husband said my card was not very Christmas-y so I tried to add some shimmer by using gold embossing powder for the sentiment. I could not find a ribbon that would work so I used linen ribbon and added the same gold embossing powder to it, it made it a little stiff but it turned out ok.
Supplies: White and black card stock, Designer Paper-Carta Bella, Verve- Peace on Earth, ribbon.
The Merry Monday Design team has some fabulous inspiration for you over on the challenge blog. Stop by, play along and don't forget to leave some comments.
It was a
pretty sunset last night too.
Thanks for stopping by,

Well, it isn't Christmas-y in the red and green sense, but I think it is quite nice. I definitely think your gold sentiment ties it all in quite nicely. Envy the mild weather and cherry blossoms. I'm in the south (USA) and freezing my bums!
ReplyDeleteThe combination of papers looks striking together and I think it looks like an awesome masculine Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteWith that gorgeous sentiment how could this not be Christmas-y, Nina! Love the rustic look of these stars! Have a great week! How nice that you have cherry blossoms already! I'll bet it's beautiful where you live!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this sentiment and the gorgeous star paper you used, that is paper, right?!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset! Have a great week!
LOVE your card this week and I am so jealous of those cherry blossoms!
