My card today is for the Create with Connie and Mary Special card challenge. We were challenged to make one of those cards that you would love to make, but only want to make once! LOL Christmas was the theme! Here is my card:
I layered Very Vanilla onto Always Artichoke and ran them through the new snowflake embossing folder. I layered that onto the beautiful new silver shimmer glitter paper. (It is gorgeous paper!!) I added that whole ensemble to a Cherry Cobbler base. Then I added teeny, tiny, little, itty bitty pearls randomly to the snowflakes. I used the Triple Treat flower and stamped it three times and punched and layered those on top of each other with pop dots. I added a rhinestone to its center. I don't usually use both pearls and rhinestones on the same project, but I think it works here though. Finally, I added Dazzling Details to the entire background in a random pattern. The lighting is a little off because of no sun today, but this little guy just shimmers! :)

This was a fun card to make! It is all cold and wet and rainy here today and making this card made me feel a little nostalgic for Christmas morning! It will be here before we know it! :)
I hope that you are having a wonderful day! I will be back soonest!
love the color combo and the way you layered the flower :)
ReplyDeleteAll the added details are so gorgeous. I love the pearls with the rhinestones and the Dazzling Details--a girl can never have too much bling and sparkle. Thank you for joining our challenge this week at Create With Connie and Mary. Elizabeth

WOW! I can see both why you wanted to make this (absolutely beautiful) and why you would only make it once! Just how much time did this one card take?! I love all of the little pearls and the layered flower! Awesome card!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly great way to use this stamp. I just ordered this one and can't wait to try the layering with it. Thanks for joining our Saturday Challenge at Create with Connie & Mary!
