Happy Wednesday! It is the 3rd Wednesday of the month and time for my MUSE: Christmas Vision Card Club
Challenge!
I hope my card inspires you to create a Christmas creation of your own. I can't wait to see what you create. Make sure you link up your creations HERE!
For my card I am also playing along with this week's Retro Sketch and Just Us Girls Trend Week - to use Gold! I started with a smooth white card base. I topped it off with a natural card stock layer that I stamped with Verve's Deco Borders in versamark and gold embossed. Next, I layered the circle element that I stamped with sentiment from Verve's Holiday Treats. For the next element in the sketch, I wanted a pop of color. I used cranberry cocktail card stock. I stamped the sentiment on a fishtail banner using Verve's Bright Spirits stamp set in versamark and gold embossed. I sponged the panel with versamark to create more depth and richness. I added two trees die cut with Verve's Winter Fun die set. I die cut one with green glitter card stock and layered a gold foil tree behind it. For some added Christmas charm, I added two tiny gold jingle bells that I tied together with thread. I punched a hole in the cranberry cocktail card stock and pulled the thread through to the back and taped the thread down so the bells would not droop. I finished my card with a few of Verve's Holiday Sequins Mix.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
