I knew I wanted to use sequins as ornaments on Christmas trees and I was so chuffed to find that my sequins were the perfect size for the Hero Arts tree stamp I chose to use! I made a Baja Breeze A6 card base, tore white CS for snow, stamped the sentiment and glittered the snow edges with Star Dust Stickles. I tucked the trees behind the snow and popped up a cheery snowman. I punched red stars to top the trees and added gold sequins to the star centres. I then punched tiny snowflakes and added pearls to the centres to complete the card front.
Here's the inside and the envelope with more sequin ornament trees - I loved them on the card so couldn't resist popping another one inside and on the envelope flap! Can you tell I had a very happy time putting this card together?!
I hope you'll play along with us at 52 {C}CT this week with our embellishment challenge, sequins and pearls can be classy and elegant or fun and whimsical so what will you make?
