I'm taking all the inspiration I can find to make the last few Christmas cards that I need. I've combined 2 challenges to make the design process even faster. The layout is from the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge and the theme comes from Global Design Project where they want us to use "Letters".
I thought the larger circle in the sketch would be a great place to highlight the "letters" from the theme. A red, green and gold color scheme keep everything classic.
I started with a Shaded Spruce base then added a layer of Joy of Christmas DSP in a red pattern. The Stylish Shapes circle die was used to cut the green plaid pattern also from the Joy of Christmas DSP.
The Alphabet a la Mode dies, Distressed Gold Specialty paper and foam sheets were used to spell out 'peace'. And to balance out the heavier element on the bottom I cut a few gold snowflakes with the Wishes All Around dies and added some green sequins to the center for the upper part of the card.
All of the products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
