I kept it simple with this card design using my treasured, much loved, PSX Christmas Village stamp. This is one of my oldest stamps and I will NEVER willingly part with it! I stamped the image onto Whisper White CS using Cherry Cobbler ink and then I added seasonal sparkle to the roofs, trees and snowy ground with glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I matted the image panel onto Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler layers and added silver brads to the corners. I stamped the one line sentiment onto Baja Breeze CS and cut it into two pieces before gluing it to the panel. For my background panels I cut a piece of Baja Breeze CS, embossed it with a snowflakes embossing folder, brayered Baja Breeze ink over the embossing and cut the piece into three strips. I've popped up the image panel over the embossed panels with 3d foam tape.
You know by now that the inside of my cards and envelopes have to be decorated too! Stamped snowflakes and a lovely sentiment for the inside of the card and a snowflake embossed strip for the front of the envelope finished things off. I hope you'll play along with us and make a card using this layout, I'd love to come and see how you interpret it!

Oh my goodness - I wouldn't part with that stamp either - it is just gorgeous. I feel as it I'm looking out a big picture window at your lovely scene - WOW! Love those colors together too - just wonderful Ruth!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Once again, you have done an amazing job putting nontraditional 'Christmas' colors together!
ReplyDeleteGreat frosty scene, what a gorgeous stamp! Very unusual colour combo but you've made it work.
