I think I'm a little bit in love with this card! It came together really quickly after I saw the Just Us Girls Challenge to use blue, white and gold. You can't go wrong with blue and gold for a Christmas card so I pulled out some retired paper and the Peaceful Evergreens bundle! I made this one yesterday afternoon an had intended on sharing it first thing in the morning as usual but now with the time change it was too dark to take any photos yesterday so I had to wait for the lighting to be good in my stamp room this afternoon! And I'm also in the middle of a Stampin' Up! Leaders training right now during a break so I've got to get this posted!
The card base is Night of Navy, then I stamped the little line of trees across a piece of retired Let's Go Fishing DSP. If you have any of this paper left it looks so great so give it try. If you don't use a piece of Country Lace DSP in the denim pattern for an almost identical look! I stamped off the Night of Navy ink for each time I stamped for a lighter look.
Next I added a band of retired Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper in Night of Navy. I layered a length of gold ribbon on top of that using Tear and Tape to adhere it.
The medium tree is stamped in Versamark onto Night of Navy cardstock and the smaller tree is stamped in Veramark on Misty Moonlight cardstock. I embossed both in gold and then die cut them. The taller tree is adhered flat and the smaller is popped on dimensionals.
The sentiment is made with the Iconic Imagery stamp set combining 3 different stamps. The sentiment strip is also popped on dimensionals.
The final touch are a few of the lovely Drusy Adhesive-Backed embellishments the perfect bit of sparkle to go with the rest of the gold.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
