I know it is tooo hot to think about Christmas, but I do have a Christmas card today. I used the Critter Sketch #23. See below.
Looks like and easy sketch but, I deposited several cards in the trash before I was happy with what I had. Here is the finished product.
I also wanted to incorporate Angels and glitter for the Winter Wonderland Christmas Blog Challenge Blog. And I used a DP with ornaments to qualify the card for the ABC Christmas Challenge. Oh, and you had to add glossy, shiny accents too. All the stamps are from Stampin'Up. All the papers are from Anna Griffin. There is a small piece of black CS in there too. The card base is white CS. I stamped in black ink, added layers of paper, glitter paper, and black CS for the angel. I added lots of "Shiny" brads and bumped up one of the stars and covered it with Glossy Accents, and added some silver glitter glue. To finish off, I added a shiny, silvery ribbon. Here are some detail photos so you can see all the elements. I wonder how many times I used the word shiny in this post???
Once you have the design, I think this card would go together pretty quickly. Just have to wait for the Glossy Accents and glitter glue to dry. That's it for today. Have a great day everyone!

Hi Karen
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment on the garden and joining my little section of blog land. I was once a devoted gardener, was until crafting took over my life. It is such a struggle now to get out and relax with the weeding, and I really should try harder. Currently I concentrate on the bit near the main door that we all pass every day (the rest still is shouting at me for some assistance to breathe) I hang my head in shame
take care
