Christmas Baubles

Stamps: Lucy's Stamps "Decoration" 1895LH
Inks: Colorbox Fluid Chalk - Olive Pastel
Card/Paper: Bazzill Ivy, Paraket and Pomegranate, Antique Gold Metallic Card, Kaiser Christmas Countdown D/sided paper.
Other Stuff: Sea Foam Embossing Powder, Clear Rhinestones, Thin Burgundy Ribbon

Now that classes are over for the year, I had better get stuck into Christmas Cards. This is an easy one. The central panel is an Christmas decoration embossed with white on white card and then sponged over with Olive Pastel Chalk Ink, which matches the Countdown paper perfectly. Round corners and layer onto Pomegranate card, punch holes and tie thin burgundy ribbon into a bow at front before mounting onto card with 3d foam tape. The Countdown paper layers are decorated with randomly placed rhinestones.


This is a very layer intensive card and some of the ladies in class couldn't bear to cover up so much card by creating these fine layers. I love the effect, but was thinking that I would not waste so much card with the layers by cutting out the centre sections of the layers with nestabilities rectangle set and using Krylon pen to create a faux gold layer.


The great thing about the Kaiser d/sided paper is flipping it over and using the reverse pattern gives a totally different look .... the card below is the same design, but using the reverse pattern.


Cheers
