Festive Friday #5


This card is not very photogenic, though it turned out better than I expected. I do like Christmas cards in non-traditional colors, but aqua, blush and gold are a bit of a stretch for me, so I was a little apprehensive about how it would look. Here is the inspiration photo posted on Festive Friday:

I embossed the tree from Solemn Stillness in gold and added some bling that I colored in aqua and blush with Copic markers. The star was in need of a little bling, too, so I gave it some sparkle with a little glue and some Dazzling Diamonds powder.

This shot facing into the light shows off the gold trim and embossing:

A side view shows off the bling and texture a little better:


I think I may have used this tree stamp once before, so I'm glad it's finally getting it's "moment in the sun" after spending many years in the bottom drawer!

Thanks for stopping by,
T
