Sleigh Ride in Shades of Pink -TGIF #87

Christmas in Pink looks quite exquisite!
I came across the challenge at TGIF (Thank Goodness its Friday) challenge where the theme this week was to think of a pink Christmas.
Well, I'm up for a challenge, and inspired a card given to me by one of my downline, I  create this pink Christmas card.

I apologize for the colour.  I used a lot of glitter on the card and the glitter bounced the light back so the card looks dark.  I took many pictures of the card  and this is as good as it gets.  The close up shows the card best.

The base card is Sweet Sugarplum card stock, layered first with Vellum with gold snowflakes in it.  That tones the pink of the sky somewhat and makes it look lighter.

The first layer was die cut in Red Rose card stock and adhered directly onto the vellum.

The second layer, was die cut with Sweet Sugar plum card stock and adhered to the first layer with dimensionals.

The third layer, was die cut with Pink Pirouette card stock and adhered to the second layer with dimensionals.

Wink of Stella (clear) was brushed on all layers and gold Baker's twine wrapped around the top and tied into a bow.

Supplies Used:

Stamp: Jingle All the Way

Ink: Sweet Sugar Plum

Papers: Sweet Sugar plum, Rose Red, Pink Pirouette, Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum

Accessories: Sleigh Ride Edgelits, Gold Baker's twine, dimensionals, Clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush

Sleigh Ride Ornament

After yesterday's numerous die cutting attempts I had some die cuts left over, so I created a whole different card - a sleigh ride ornament.

• A piece of the left over trees die was adhered to a piece of Real Red cardstock.
• On top of that I placed the sleigh and horse.
• This was die cut in the shape of an ornament.  To do this I used  the open ornament from the delicate ornament thinlet die set.
•  For the ornament top, I embossed with pewter embossing powder the topper from the "To You and Yours Too" stamp set.  This was hand cut.
• The basic card is Real Red layered with an embossed Whisper White layer.
• I adhered the ornament topper to the top of the ornament, with the string going to the top of the card.  To that I added a bow made with the silver cord string with a glue dot.
• The sentiment is from "To You and Yours Too" and was adhered to the card front with dimensionals. Part of the sentiment was over the lower part of the ornament.

Home for Christmas

I managed to get a lot of work done today for my craft show this weekend which is a really good thing.
I also got ready for a cardmaking class tomorrow night.
Tomorrow morning I have to be totally prepared.

But I wanted to make another card with the Sleigh Ride Edgelits. I had so much fun with it last night. Tonight I wanted to use all three of the edgelits. It was a bit tricky, and I had to repeat the die cutting a number of times. Then when I got everything just right,  I made a mistake with the stamping of the sentiment. Some black ink had gotten on my finger and it smeared the words. So I decided to stamp it on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock and added it over the error with dimensionals.

• The base cardstock is basic black, layered with Whisper White.
• the die cuts were layered on this Whisper White layer
• The first one I die cut was the houses - and that was die cut in Basic Black.  Before attaching it to the card I stamped the snowflakes in the sky using Soft Sky ink.
• The second layer, the trees, was die cut in Basic Gray cardstock.
• Finally the horse and sleigh - die cut in Whisper White.  I stamped a little doggie in the lower right corner, welcoming the individual home
• Dazzling diamonds was applied to this lower white layer.
• The sentiment is from"Jingle All the Way"
