Hi Ladies! I want to congratulate my cyberfriend Julie over at Julies's Op
en Window for her new position as a Design Team Member at The Color Dare Challenge site! I made this card to help support their new & upcoming site using Karen's Sweet Sketch Sunday #35, SSSC35. This week's challenge CD34, we were challenged to use SU Chocolate Chip, Blush Blossom & Certainly Celery (or any other brand's similar colors). If ANY of you are interested in playing with some fun colors or sweet sketches, I recommend you visit both of these sites & get inspired to play! Stop by & see what their DT has created to get your creativity jump started. I'd love to know if any of you have started making your Christmas cards? Thanks for looking!
Be Sweet :)
I focused on the flourishes in the SU Christmas tree image & stamped some coordinating background paper with the PTI Fancy Flourishes set. The white embossed flourishes really stand out on the SU Certainly Celery cs.
I have just been in love with using the brayer technique! I inked up the brayer with SU Blush Blossom ink, rolled it right on the Cuttlebug Snowflake EF, ran it through the Sizzix Big Shot Express & voila!
For a lil' extra detail on the inside, I stamped & embossed some flourish images & adhered a Martha Stewart punched snowflake x 2 with a Making Memories crystal brad.
Ingredients Used: Stamps: SU Season Of Joy, PTI Fancy Flourishes Ink: VersaMark, SU Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom Paper: SU Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Sprinkles: Spellbinders Scalloped Circle & Circle nesties, Martha Stewart snowflake punches x 2, Making Memories crystal brads, Offray ribbon, Filigree embossing powder, Cuttlebug Snowflake EF
