Christmas Star
There's a theme challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week. The card you make should showcase stars. So here's what I came up with.
The hardest part for me was decided what colors to use. I started digging through scraps I
had and settled on this, sort of, blue green scheme. I used an old Sizzix originals die for
the star and dry embossed it with a cuttlebug folder. I thought the star could use some
color so I swiped an ink pad on it. I stamped the greeting and cut into a banner. Then I
decided something else was needed so I started adding bling. At first I just added the blue
gems but then remembered I had these crystal swirls and cut them apart and added them
where I thought they looked best. I think it helps "showcase" the star, right? So there you
have it. Another Christmas card done and about 58 more to go! Thanks for taking a look!

Personally, I love sparkly creations for Christmas! And this one ticks all the boxed for me, Judy. Thanks for joining the March Theme challenge at 52 {C}CT.

ReplyDeleteThis is a star of a card! Love the bling flourishes, they really accentuate the star beautifully, can't have too much bling on a Christmas card IMO. Thanks for joining us on 52 CCT
