Post 341: CAS Christmas Card

Hi friends !

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Christmas Card. This was part of my DT work for PABD, all the details can be checked out here. I heat embossed the Poinsettia and sentiment in gold and watercolored the flower with Festive Berries Distress Ink refill. I wanted a deep red color and whenever I use my zig markers, the red somehow looks pinkish so in order to attain a deep, rich red I used the distress ink refill and it worked beautifully. Then added a bit of washi tape at the bottom to balance the design, a few sequins for sparkle and a few dots of red stickles on the chocolate brown die cut. They aren't visible in the photo but they add a bit of shine to the crosses all around the dome die cut. Also, I foam mounted the dome die cut and the flower :) I kept the color scheme quite festive with cream, chocolate brown, red and gold and I must say I love that color combo and will be using it again!

List of Supplies:

PABD stamp- Poinsettia
PABD die- Dome Tower Dies
Ranger's Fine Embossing Powder- Gold
Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad 
Homemade Emboss Buddy
Gold and red sequins
Festive Berries Distress Ink Refill
Cream and Chocolate Brown Cardstock
Tombow Mono Multi Glue
Red Stickles
Washi tape
3d Foam Tape

Here is a photo of the card:

  10. An elegant and sophisticated Christmas card and the gold embossing definitely creates the perfect shine for our challenge at Less is More although I think you may have linked to more challenges than we allow (5 is our limit including our own). It's a beautiful card for our gallery and thanks for sharing it with us and for linking up at the Uniko Christmas challenge.
