I’m slowly getting into the Christmas projects with all the projects out there it’s definitely getting me into the spirit. That’s actually where the inkspiration came from for this card. As I was scrolling through my Facebook feed I saw a gorgeous card by another demonstrator, Gail Ellis, and just loved the style and so here we are. I’m not sure what you would actually call this style of card, but it kind of reminds me of an easel card so that’s what I’m calling it. If you know the name definitely let me know.
For my card I used Mossy Meadow as my card base and the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. I also used the Poinsettia Petals stamp set to create a back drop for the Very Vanilla poinsettia I made using the coordinating dies.
I wanted to add a bit more Real Red to help make the berries pop so I added some of the Real Red Sheer ribbon and to help make the Very Vanilla poinsettia pop I sponged the edges with Mossy Meadow.
To add a little more texture to the card I embossed the back drop using the Subtle 3D Embossing folder and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles dies before I mounted it on another piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock to connect the two pieces of the card base. I originally thought of adding the “Merry Christmas” to the card from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set, but it didn’t quite work so I decided to leave it off.
At some point I may to decide to add a phrase to the card, but in the meantime I really like how this turned out. I really like this style of card and will definitely be using this to make other cards in the future.
