Happy Sunday!
Today I have another Christmas card to share using Spellbinders - Glimmer Holly Background. This the second card I made with this glimmer plate. This one I used gold foil on blue cardstock (PaperTrey Ink - Enchanted Evening).
I colored some of the the holly and leaves with Prismacolor colored pencils. This was a technique I saw in both online cardmaking courses I took this Fall. The Stress Free Cardmaking Summit and Justine Hovey's online 12 Days of Christmas cardmaking tutorial. Using the colored pencils on a dark cardstock is really striking and unexpected. I was really drawn to trying it myself and this is the card I came up with.
The background is matted on gold cardstock and the Merry Christmas is die cut from the center of the gold mat. The Merry Christmas die I found on Amazon and I liked that it was all one piece, even the dot of the i is part of the Merry swoosh. I matted the Merry Christmas sentiment on a piece of vellum to help it from getting lost in the background. This was something I learned from Justine Hovey's online 12 Days of Christmas cardmaking tutorial.
I made some cards vertical and some horizontal.
Yesterday I posted a card created with this same glimmer plate in silver.
Saturday, I will have another card version using the stencil from the bundle.
Thanks for stopping by...
Blessings to you,
Deb
