Hello, everybody! I will be around to visit your blogs soon - between now and the weekend! In the meantime, I have another holiday card to share! I was inspired by my own set of cards that I made in June here.
This is an older digital image from my stash called Winter Tree from Gingerloft (no longer in business), and it was a leftover from my June guest designer month. I had already printed it in green, but it didn't get used. I had already digitally added a holiday sentiment beneath the image (Beccy's Place Christmas Blooms). The image with sentiment was already cut to size in June, with corners rounded, glittered up, and ready to use, so this card came together quickly!
I chose a different embossed background than I used in June and went with a landscape orientation this time. The previous cards were portrait. The embossing folder (Simon Says Stamp Forest Border) is new, and this is the first time I've used it. To create a snowbank that coordinates with the tree image, I tore a scrap of white cardstock and adhered. The tree/sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape, and I adhered three green snowflake sequins to finish off the card.
I would like to join the following challenges:
ABC Christmas N for New (embossing folder, new and first time using) and O for Old (digital image won in 2013; company no longer in business)
