Christmas Lights WT292

Photo Details

Poster: bfinlay

Today's Way to Use It challenge is entitled Do You See What I See - seeing embellishments with all kinds of possibilities on a card. When I looked at the tiny bright buttons my Mom just sent me from America, I saw Christmas lights! I used green wire for the cord, curling the ends and glued on the buttons. For the card base, I printed the sentiment by computer, then masked a rectangle, sponging inside. I sprinkled white embossing powder on it for a snowy look and added a few punched snowflakes with stickles as the final touch.

Now that is simply beautiful. And with the leaden grey sky we have here, your snowy blue background is lovely to see.
