Hello friends!! Still in Christmas card mode... gotta get them done and quickly, lol!! Today's card is for the current AAA Cards challenge, blue Christmas. I used the new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. The new challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is Christmas/Holiday so I will post this there, as well.
Yesterday I picked up the Stampin Up! stamp Wondrous Wreath and the matching dies, Wonderful Wreath from my SU! demo, Jenna. So I thought I would get started on making a card for the AAA Card challenge. Well... the only thing I got accomplished last night was die cutting the sparkly "noel" because the "noel" word die did not want to cut through the glitter paper. Took four attempts, I think...so frustrating!! Finally got the card finished today (after more frustration, but I won't go into that, lol!). Used three shades of blue ink for the wreath (SU! Marina Mist, Pacific Point & Midnight Muse), as well as pale blue cardstock. Peeking out from the center of the wreath is the starburst image from Kinda Eclectic that I stamped in pale blue. Before adhering the finished wreath, I partially embossed the outside edges of my white cardstock and then added some Crystal Stickles. This week's Freshly Made Sketch is so cool I may have to make something else with it!
Thanks for stopping by...
