Challenge #38
Christmas Traditions
Christmas Traditions
This fortnights challenge theme has been chosen by DT sister Sall. Christmas Traditions - I get the feeling Sall is on a Christmas card making roll lol.
For my creation I decided to go with all foiling. Last year hubby bought me a TODO which does foiling via laser printing and also foils using dies that don't cut. I bought a few dies but as always, they are costly but luck was on my side the other week and I managed to get a whole load in a sale. Silver card was used as my base with a white embossed layering following. A simple while layer with silver foiling of a Mistletoe spray followed. Next I foiled the four corners and die cut them then I foiled the sentiment which I added to a die cut backing. To finish off the card I added three pearls.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:-

ReplyDeleteToo darn right I was on a Christmas Card making roll, I literally only have one left and as I am making a 3d book it will wait a ee while so it's not destroyed before I post it. I am determined that next year I will not be making 100, I am cutting down whether people like it or not!
