Since I didn't have to leave for the show until 11:30a, I had time to make a card on World Card Making Day - just didn't have time to post it until now. Decided I'd make something for Just Us Girls #747 where they're using the colors chartreuse, light blue and gray (with any neutrals, of course). What a gorgeous combo & friend Lisa (My Paper Tales) is hosting so I wanted to play.
Supplies: Paper - My Favorite Things Christmas Cheer
& Limelight; Anchor Paper grays;
Spellbinders Betterpress Pebble; TH kraft metallic
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 (retired);
Impression Obsession Pine Branch;
Birch Press Design Ornament Basics
Press Plate with Die - Spellbinders Merry Bright Sentiment Strips
Other - Spellbinders Betterpress Thunder ink;
Hero Arts Spring Enamel Stickers
Just did a bunch of die cutting and used a Betterpressed sentiment from the stash. Sorry the darkest color looks a bit blue in the photo; definitely is a dark gray! The top ornament layer was cut from a medium gray linen paper which has a reverse side of the lightest gray. Pebble Betterpress paper is a soft gray and I used a gorgeous gray Betterpress ink. The toppers were cut from Tim Holtz kraft metallic silver.
While I was diecutting the Belle ornament layers (there are 3), some labels cut from the centers. I decided to make another card, this time with just a basic ornament & the labels. Nice & simple.
Additional supplies: Spellbinders Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder;
Poptone Berrylicious cardstock
