Christmas Card #2

The second entry for a chance to win some great RAK on Christine's blog for the challenge here.

Came up with the second card with the outline left over after I cut my first tree out of the green handmade paper (see previous post). Green and red glitter to bling the foreground. Red thread on the top just to contrast. Took a red paper (rectangular) and wrapped golden thread around it randomly, which resembles Christmas tree decorations. (I am loving this technique right about know to add quick decorative touch to pieces I use in my cards). Some golden stickers completed the tree decorations. Red and golden in contrast to finish off this card :)




Christmas Card #1

The RAK on Christine's blog were just too tempting! Worked on 2 Christmas cards this week for her challenge here.

I had this red creased paper from a bouquet received much earlier (Yes I hoard all the paper I can ... never know when you may need it!!) which I used as a background. Cut out a tree with simple lines from green handmade paper. Used a layer of green glitter to bling it up with golden star stickers.

A cream glossy paper (doesn't show well on the photos) on the side to divide the main image from the sentiment. For the sentiment cut out a tag from the same green paper. Wrapped golden thread around it randomly to add dimension and some more bling with golden star outline stickers. To finish off, sentiment stamped onto a lighter green handmade paper and slid it in between the tag and the golden threads.

The perfect fit

Got around to making a simple card with some classic patterned paper (K&Company) using Laura's sketch this at 2S4Y ... I like to suprise my husband with some cards now and then and this I am sure he will love :)



Drew and cut out the puzzle pieces and the 'I' ''U' using a pair of scissors, so that took real long! :)Added some bling stones on the alphabets and the side sentiment to add contrast with the darker color scheme.
