It was a really nice break from all the coloring I usually do, to create something for this latest challenge. It took all my willpower to, at a minimum, not color the flowers! It resulted in a Clean and Simple design - but I think fairly elegant for a Christmas card.
This Monday's Craft
Your Passion Challenge is "No colored image" and the sponsor is the Sugar Kissed Cottage. They provided images for the Design Team to use and I chose this one called "Silhouette". You can see all of the CYP Design Team's inspiration for you and the challenge rules HERE.
The image was sized to be quite large on an A2 card with a top fold. The sentiment from Art Impressions was stamped and punched out as an oval and then modified to it the space better. Two slider slots were punched in either end for the ribbon.
The inside was layered with leftover CS from the front.
This card should be
eligible for the following

ReplyDeleteTrust you Ginny, I want to say this card is very elegant but then I'm repeating your thoughts. OK, so we are agreed on that point but the other adjectives I believe apply are "charming" - and "stylish". Your chosen image has such charm and the red card with the lovely red ribbon/bow is Very stylish. Most definitely a card I'd love to have on display over the Christmas period. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I like the idea to do a christmas card.
