- 6" x 6" square white card stock
- more of the same white card for the image and extra layer
- Woodware stamp called 'JGCL535 Bubble Wreath' - a lovely set which also has some smaller 'baubles' in as well . Stamped the wreath in Memento 'Grey Flannel', dug out my (ahem) large box with packets of gems and pearls in and picked out clear, pinks and white then sat for ages totally filling the 'bubbles'. You can just colour some, use stickles, card candi, buttons - or totally go for broke as I did :) Towards the end of the process it got tricky fitting in some of the gems and the bubble outlines were likely to show so I just went over them with a white gel pen before adding the last gems and pearls. 'Glutton for punishment' I think it's called :)
- the pink backing card is from the snippets folder, by SU, and one extra piece was embossed using Cuttlebug's 'Forest Branches' folder before adding it to one side
- sentiment is also a Woodware one, from their 'Christmas Bubble Tree' set - I use this sentiment loads and this time stamped it using a Versamagic Chalk ink pad in 'Pink Petunia' with a teeny little pearl above the letter i
- very narrow pink ribbon with a little bow (made using a fork as I've shown previously - see here if you don't already know this little tip, it's a life-saver - and perhaps only for those with OCD, grin)
I'd also like to enter this card into a 'new for me' challenge called Cuttlebug Mania, where the theme this week is 'Christmas in June'. It seems like a fun and friendly place to go and play. I've followed them since they began in March but this is my first entry/dip of toe into the water. Sigh, and of course I haven't much embossing or die-cutting on this card at all - just the piece of pink card so maybe that's a bit cheeky.
It seems to be my week for being cheeky!

What a wonderful placement of stones and colors, Di! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHello Miss Cheeky! This is lovely, and I admire the time you must have spent hand gluing all the fab little sparkly gems. But it is so worth your effort. Like the backing papers & layout too. Your attention to detail on the little gem on your sentiment...gracious. Just bee-U-ti-ful. TFS
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Di, I love bling and this wreath of sparkly gems is beautiful :) Cathy x

A LITTLE bit of bling? I'd say that was a generous coating of it! It's REALLY pretty Di.

this is lovely Di. I have that stamp but i have never made it look so pretty. You have been doing so well with your Christmas cards this year and I have hardly made any. I'd better get my skates on because once the two hottest months (when I don't do much at all) have passed, it is nearly time to be writing Christmas cards! Kate x

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Christmas images and love the colour choice you have used, it does get quite difficult to get them on the circles sometimes.
