Holy Night, all is calm, all is bright." What a beautiful Christmas hymn that is! I'm singing it because Hazel of Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge (among others!), is asking for cards that invoke the feelings of a silent night. Here is my contribution:
I think that snow falling at night is such a quiet, calm experience, so that's what inspired this card. Also, I think gray is such a calming color. This is a Silhouette card file, and I cut the inner circle section again in silver glitter paper, and glued it on top of the original cut. I backed the open area with a piece of acetate for stability. The tiny sentiment is from the Hampton Arts Seasonal Beauty set, stamped in VersaFine black ink. The more I look at this card, the more I think I'm gonna add some bling to the closed centers of the snowflakes. I can see making more of this card in different colors! :)
I have another Christmas card I would like to share with you:
I was making this one for the Glory of Christmas Challenge, but I missed the deadline...boo! I really need to pay closer attention to the deadline times of the challenges across the pond! :( Anyway, the patterned paper is from Summer Driggs' Winter Gifts digital collection. The 2 larger silver snowflakes are from a Silhouette file, and the smaller one is a MS punch. The ribbon came from the dollar store.
Well, I hope all of you are enjoying your weekends! Tomorrow we are having a birthday party for my older DD, Rena, who turned 16 this past Thursday. 16!!!!! I can hardly believe the years have flown by so fast!
Thanks for stopping by to take a look...make sure you take some extra time to check out Hazel's other challenge contributors this week!
