This card was inspired by the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #682. Instead of using a Landscape format for the card, I used Portrait.
The base card is Real Red cardstock, layered with gold paper imprinted with Christmas sayings in Real Red die cut with a stitched rectangle layered die with notched corners. The gold paper reflects the light resulting in a glare. The picture looks better in real life.
The image layer is Basic White cardstock , again die cut with the stitched rectangle layered die only a size smaller.
The focal point are two ornaments, die cut with the gold paper using the ornament die from "Hang an Ornament "dies, The tops are decorated with green holly and red foil berries. The ornament on the top is finished with a Red Organza bow and a cardinal is resting on the bottom ornament. Both ornaments are added to the card front using dimensionals.
The sentiment, from Frog's Whiskers Ink, was stamped in Real Red ink and embossed with clear embossing powder . After matting it with gold foil it was added to the left side of the card front.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Hang an Ornament, Celebrate the Season
Inks: Mossy Meadow, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler
Papers: Real Red, Basic White, Patterned Gold Paper, Gold foil, Green foil, Red foil, Garden Green
Accessories: Small cardinal bird die (Dee's Distinctive), Hang an Ornament dies, Stitched Rectangle with notched corners layering dies. 1/4" Real Red Organza ribbon, dimensionals.
I am combining the Sketch from TSOT #682 with the Double Dare Challenge #203 3-2-1 "Round and Round"
In my card there are : 2 round images - ornaments
3 die cut images - 6 holly and 6 berries and a cardinal
1 ribbon in the form of a bow
