It's Kath's turn to host a challenge this week and this time it's "All About Christmas". I love this challenge and have a nice little stash of Christmas cards building up, waiting to be filled out and sent at the end of the year. Such a "painless" way to do it!
I had the worst time with this card! Oh, making it was fun and no trouble at all, but getting a decent photograph was such a pain that I almost decided to make a different card. Why, you ask. Well, I'll bet you think this is a blue and white card, right? You would be wrong. This card is definitely blue. In fact I've used one of my favourites, the Pacific Point cardstock. Everything else is silver. The background to the die-cut oval piece, the scalloped edge around the embossed piece, and the heat-embossed sentiment: all are silver. Try as I might, they all photographed white.
In person this card looks elegant and absolutely gorgeous.
I've used the Sparkle embossing folder. I've also used the Hometown Greetings Edgelits. And that sentiment? That's from the Nature Sings stamp set. Don't they all work well together?
I hope you'll check out the awesome samples by the other Watercooler Artists over at our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge blog.
I'm also entering this card into the CHNC Challenge #391 - Christmas Anything Goes
