I love the gorgeous pine tree image in the new Sleigh Ride set from Artistic Outpost. For this card, I stamped it two times overlapping slightly in the center. Next I distressed the heck out of the edges of the ivory panel. I squirted Stickles Glitter Glue on my finger and dabbed it all over the trees for a shimmery winter sparkle.
I finished by stamping the Merry Christmas sentiment on the same ivory paper and distressing and inking the edges before attaching with foam tape.
I attached the entire image to a handmade embossed paper base using adhesive about 1/2" from the edges, so I could curl and fold the panel for a bit more dimension.
This card is for the Gingersnap Designs challenge of Neutrals Plus One Color … I love the peaceful serene feeling the single color gives to this winter scene. It's also for the Moxie Fab World Jolly Holiday Greetings Challenge … remember, it's never too soon to start making those holiday cards … just one a week gets you that much closer to done.
Happy Friday!
Wow, such a gorgeous card! Love the distressed look of it, and the nice shade of green.
Beautiful holiday card, love the distressed look!
Oh Steph I love, love, love this!!! I actually thought the panel was canvas at first, so deliciously distressed it is. Beautifully shabby, elegant, vintage, CAS – all at the same time!
Absolutely stunning effect! Love the trees and your embossing!
oh my god! this is gorgeous!!!
Very pretty and soft! Beautifully done!
Just beautiful – love it.
