One of the October Challenges at the Hero Arts Blog is to make a Holiday Card with the theme Mad About Metallics, so that was the direction I went. As with the elegant cake, I went with a silver and white monochromatic design adding lots of metallic and glittery sparkle.
I started with the Hero Arts Tiny Star Backgorund in Silver on white cardstock. Next I stamped Hero Arts Winter Trees in the same silver ink, this time adding clear embossing powder for a bit more shimmer. I cut the square image into a circle to work with this week's Freshly Made Sketch (which brings in the circular layers of the cake).
I layered on several different metallic silver glitter papers. I couldn't find a circle sentiment that I liked, so instead I layered some silver snowflakes on to a white circle for my smaller circular element. I finished with sparkly star gems and silver sequins.
