Traditional Christmas Colors
Lots to do this time of year including cards to sign & mail. That meant I didn't make my card for ITP Joy of Cardmaking--Intricate Cards until late Friday night after watching our Ducks win the Pac 12 Championship.
PTI Shape Shifters Oval #3 is intricate & I'd never used it, so that's where I started. I had red & green scraps for a traditional Christmas card. The sentiment from PTI Bold Borders Yuletide was brushed with shimmer & covered with Nuvo Glaze. Thought the card needed something else, but I was too tired to figure it out that night. Today I decided just a couple IO pine branches die cut from the same strip of green paper would finish it off. They were brushed with shimmer & the ends tucked into an opening in the frame. Now it's ready to send. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground, SSS Monday, SSS Wednesday, DCD & Time Out.

ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards, Greta. I always love coming by your blog to see your wonderful creativity. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Sadly, you popped by before I had a chance to update my post. I had forgotten to post my winner for the Snippets Playground give-away and you were my lucky winner. You can see the info on the same post you visited today, and I just need you to email me your mailing address. I'll pop your goodies in the mail as soon as I possibly can. Thanks for being a good, crafty friend. It's much appreciated.
