Can you believe Christmas is next week? I'm not even close to ready. At least this is one more card I have finished. For our DDIC challenge, winter-soap1 These Anthropolgie.com and they have the perfect, traditional Christmas colors.
For my card, I used one large image and since it has so much detail, I just used one color of ink and left it uncolored, except for the little red dots I added around the house. I used a set of Spellbinders oval Nesties to cut out the central part of the image and a larger oval to add the open white space between the two pieces. I used two of the ovals to cut a red oval ring that I added on top of the outer layer. A red mat was added underneath, w/ the center cut out to allow the white of the card front to show through.
The sentiment is actually part of a velvety, flocked gift card. I liked the metallic embossing and the velvet feel of it. I used an oval Nestie to help cut it out. This was really tough to cut through and I had to make a bunch of passes and finally used the craft knife to finish the cut through the last part of the backing. I used a 1/2 inch circle punch to cut cut a circle of this same gift card and attached it to a white circle w/ foam tape. A folded piece of red velvet ribbon was added underneath my faux button.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
