Hello & Happy Monday Crafty Friends!
I realized that I hadn't shown you the last
Christmas card I made from that October
Card Class I went too - So, I thought... Today
is a good day to share it! :)
Here's the card the Hostess made for us
to re-create --
I really like the branches on this card
I wasn't a fan of the ribbon or the sentiment
Now - Here's what I made --
I liked the layout of her card, so I stuck with that -
I changed it up a bit by using a Stitched Rectangle die
and an Oval Double Stitch die...
I also used Red Cardstock as my Card Base - I thought the white was
too boring for me...
I used a Stitched banner die with a nice simple Sentiment
And I also used a Stitched Scallop die for my
Scallop border which shows smaller scallops than
the original card has.
I also wanted to dress up the branches, so
I used some Candy Cane Trendy Twine with
a Red gem to highlight the branches a bit -
Of course, to finish my card, I added some Tiny Clear Gems
and some Glitter Red & Green Nuvo Drops --
I think my card took a lighter approach
and felt the original card seemed to bulky/heavy
to me... What do you guys think???
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a Fabulous Day!

ReplyDeleteThis one is pretty close to the original but yours is "lighter." I agree about the ribbon.
