Tuesday greetings, bloggers! I hope the week has gone well so far, and will continue to do so! Here is what I have to share with you this evening:
I have added to my "collection" of monochromatic inked background Christmas cards with these two. I really love how the purple one turned out! I decided to try a new technique on that one with the stacked Papertrey Ink die cut. I really like the look of it, but in hindsight, I wonder if my "stacks" should have been cut from black instead of white. Ah well, next time! On the PINK card, I used the same layout as on this green version here. I added some Wink of Stella to the pink portions of the Fred, She Said snowflake, and I heat embossed the Cloud9 Design sentiment on vellum. These backgrounds also have the same yummy shimmer as their predecessors do.
Spending some time looking at the purple card, I'm thinking it looks too plain. Should I scatter some sequins, perhaps? Please let me know in your comments!
