Hi, friends! I am SUPER DUPER excited today to share with you that I have started a new holiday card challenge called CASE-ing Christmas! We will be having weekly challenges and the premise is totally easy--just CASE the card that's provided. All the details can be found on the challenge blog. :) Here's this week's card...
This card was made by yours truly a few years back. I decided to use the same color scheme and a new dove image. Take a peek at what I created with this inspiration...
This new image is from a bag of stamps I got at a consignment sale. I colored it in with a gold glitter gel pen in areas after heat embossing it onto specialty paper. The shine in real life is amazing and was hard to photograph.
I added this image to the card base and then decided to highlight it with some gold leaves from my stash and a cream flower from Inspired By Stamping. More shine and texture. :)
The card base was created with glitter paper, gold elastic trim, a punched border and gold pearls. I think that this color scheme is very elegant, don't you?
The whole card looks so sparkly and joyful--perfect for a holiday greeting! What do you think of this card? Leave me a comment and let me know!
That's all for me today! I'll be back next week with another card for CASE-ing Christmas, and I hope you hop on over and join in our current challenge! I cannot wait to see what you will create for us! HUGS and MERRY stamping to you all!
