I've set a new Inspiration and Themes Challenge today on In Love With Stamping - I hope you'll be able to head over there and play along!
Taking inspiration from the Christmas ornaments I came up with 2 cards. The first uses A Holly Jolly Christmas set from SU.
I embossed the tree with gold ink and clear e.p and cut it and matted it with long-rectangle nesties. The bottom half of the card is embossed with the snowflakes cuttlebug folder. I paper pierced around the top of the card, rounded the bottom corners, added gold ribbon and gold dew drops.
Recipe:
Stamps - A Holly Jolly Christmas (SU)
Ink - Encore gold
Card - Very Vanilla (SU)/Gold (Papertrey)
Other - Long rectangle nestabilities/Cuttlebug/gold ribbon/gold cord/gold dew drops/Crafter's Tool Kit (SU)
The second card uses a Cornish Heritage Farms image - I stamped this with a glue pad and added gold glitter for some serious sparkle!
Again I used the cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, nesties, gold ribbon and some gold pearls.
Recipe:
Stamps - Trumpeting Angel (CHF)
Ink - Tsukinenko glue pad
Card - Very Vanilla (SU)/Gold (Papertrey)
Other - Scalloped nestabilities/Cuttlebug/snowflakes embossing folder/gold ribbon/gold pearls
Thanks for stopping by today !
