I was so glad when Stampin’ Up! brought back the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper this year. It has such pretty designs and I love the foil elements in some of them! So of course I had to make a Brightly Gleaming holiday card. This card design came from a team card sketch challenge. I really like doing sketch challenges because it usually gives me a design I haven’t thought of.
For this card I started with the Brightly Gleaming DSP to figure out my colour combination. I kept it simple because I wanted the DSP to really stand out, so I chose Night of Navy and Whisper White. And with the gold foil in one of the DSP designs I used some of the Gold Metallic Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack.
The phrase came from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set, which is one of my favourites from this year’s holiday catalogue. I stamped it with Night of Navy ink and cut it out with the largest squares from the Stitched Shapes dies. I also cut out some Night of Navy cardstock with one of the circle dies for that piece of the sketch design. Then I popped up the phrase using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I like how simple all the layers are in this sketch design, it really helps the DSP stand out. Here’s the full card…
I’ve still got a lot to do for the upcoming holidays. So it was nice to not have to think about a design for this card. I really like how it turned out too.
If you liked this Brightly Gleaming holiday card then you might want to check out this card. This card is a bit fancier because it was made for a Fancy Fold Design Team Blog Hop, but was a lot of fun to make.
