- A6 white card stock
- Crafts Too embossing folder called 'Swirl Frame' - perfect for Christmas cards as it has some little stars in the design
- sentiment from a 'Personal Impressions set called 'Many Greetings', designed by Kirsty Wiseman
- schparkly holly embellishments from a Paper Studio pack, bought in Hobby Lobby whilst shopping with the lovely Kay in New Mexico in September - it seems a lifetime ago but only yesterday if that makes sense :(
This card is for the current Less Is More challenge which is 'Glamour and Glitz' - it's got the glitz for sure! But I fiddled with the self adhesive embellishments for a while, I really wanted them in a line but it just didn't look right as they aren't equally sided. Hint, if playing round for placement of self-adhesive embellishments, it's useful to use a piece of acetate as I do so you can sit it over a card to see what the end result will look like without actually sticking onto the card - OCD at work again!
Snort, we could do with an OCD house cleaning fairy here right now - the dining room is piled high with school newsletter stuff, envelopes and umpteen boxes of printed newsletters that I collected today, all glaring at me and saying 'Just get ON with it woman' :(

A great card Di. I've also got this embossing folder and have usually cut out the middle and used it as a frame, but I love your glitz on the middle - must give that a try!

Really like this CAS with glitz card.
ReplyDeleteWell you fiddled until you got those pretty stones perfect, Di! It looks like holly! Love this card!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This is a lovely card. Love the glitter bits on the icy white,perfect background for the merry reds & greens. Inspired idea to use the rhinestones like this. TFS. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOOOOo! Such a delicate and pretty card here Miss. Don't envy you with your stuffing job! Never mind - good practice for the 25th though the turkey will have a bigger cavity than an envelope!
