Foiled Christmas Card

As promised here is another Christmas card in the Hydrangea Hue, White and Silver theme. Right now this is one of my favorite color combo's for Christmas!

Click here to see Card 1 in this color theme.

This card is a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" base in white. I've also used Hydrangea Hue DSP and CS as well as Vellum and Silver Foil.

This time the foiling is more subtle as it creates the dots in the background. It kind of reminds me of snowflakes.

The Poinsettia is die cut then I used the Impression Plate for deeper detail. It really makes such a difference! Adding some Vellum die cut leaves is a nice touch without the design getting too busy looking. I use glue dots to stick the flower petals together but before that I crease the petals a bit for dimension.

Once again I used a sentiment from the Ephemera pack. It's a quick and easy way to get a pretty sentiment and I love the variety in the pack.

I hope this color combo caught your eye. I currently have one more ready to share next era, though I'm sure there will be more in these colors in the future!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back often for more ideas and inspiration.

Have a great day!

Hot Foil Pretty Poinsettia Card 3

This is the third card of three in Christmas card color them of Hydrangea Hue, White and Silver. I'm sure there will be more in the future so stay tuned!

Once again I've used the same elements to create a card each time giving it a different look from the last. This card is 3-1/2" x 5" in a white base.

This time I used a stamped then hot foiled piece of Hydrangea Hue along the left edge of the card base. I layered a torn piece of white CS then a torn piece of the DSP.

The sentiment is from the same Ephemera pack as the other cards. This time I used a Blending Brush to soften the white space with a touch of Hydrangea Hue ink. A die cut leaf anchors the popped up sentiment layer. I added some sparkle with Rhinestones to go along with the Hot Foil Swiss Dots background.

How fun! All three cards in this series share the same colors yet all three had entirely different looks. It's fun to experiment with the same items!

Be on the look out for more ideas in this color theme. I'm sure there will be more coming soon as well as other non-traditional Christmas colors for cards.
