Cardstock Christmas

This week at Jingle Belles we're making cards that only feature Cardstock … no designer paper allowed (I know you have as much cardstock hoarded as I do, so you have no excuse not to join us). 

I started with the color challenge from The Paper Players, which I thought would be great for a holiday card.

Next I went searching through my neglected woodblock holiday stamps and found this Christmas Mosaic from Stampotique.  The challenge at the Stampotique Designers Challenge is Shimmer and Shine, so I stamped the image in red and then sprayed with several glimmer sprays for a wonderful overall shimmer … and finished with a bit of silver Stickles Glitter for a bit more sparkle.

I used the layout from Sweet Sunday Sketch adding a tiny sentiment from Catslife Press to my Hexagon.  I flipped the sketch to accommodate my larger image.

Here's a shot that tries to better capture the Shimmer & Shine.

I'm also joining Anything Goes at the Christmas Card Challenges

  1. This is lovely! I’d love to see it in person since I’m quite sure that the photo doesn’t show all the shimmer.
    Great take on the color and sketch challenge too!
    Thanks for playing along with my challenge at Stampotique Designers Challenges.
    Pls. go back and add the challenge number after your name on the Inlinkz, so that you’ll be entered to win the monthly prize!

  2. I love blues and reds together on a Christmas card, Stef! Love that focal panel. I wish I could see the shimmer in person, too. Thanks so much for playing along with my color challege at The Paper Players!
