Saturday and it's the weekend!

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ... a Christmas card, I saw a make on Facebook and it reminded me just how effective the central panel image could be (I tend to use the bottom corners!!!) - just wish I'd saved it or even made a note of the crafter who inspired me.

My 15cm/5" square card

Materials used:

  • White, 250gsm, 15cm/5" square card
  • Card in white and DCWV textured mid blue - for my card front, insert and matting
  • Snippets of card in white and mid blue pearl DCWV, for my image panel
  • Inkadinkado snowflake image (from 98394) stamped using Versamark embossing ink, sprinkled with funstamps white embossing powder and heat set. Elsewhere on my card I stamped the same image but using Memento gray flannel ink, not wanting to emboss in so many places
  • Picket Fence sentiment (from C.114 - April 2024 - NBUS) stamped on to a white snippet using Versafine Clair twilight ink
  • Picket Fence die (from C.114A - also April 2024 and NBUS) used to cut out the sentiment
  • Once the embossed snowflakes were cool enough, and using a makeup brush, I applied a light cover of Memento Paris dusk ink before adhering the die cut sentiment

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

  1. NBUS - challenge No. 77 - USE NBUS

This layout is very effective. There are so many ideas around that it becomes difficult to recall just where they were seen. Enjoy your weekend.

The embossed snowflakes look so pretty against that soft blue Kathy and the central panel design is very eye catching. x
