I've used die cuts and glitter CS to make my card - it's a simple design but I hope sophisticated too! I made an A6 card base from black CS and covered the entire front with black glitter CS. I die cut the Winter Neighbourhood shape from silver glitter CS and popped that up. I stamped and die cut the sentiment label pieces, edged the white label with a black pen, punched the star and popped the label and star up. To finish the front I added rhinestones to the label.
Here's the inside with a snowy bank, a tree and a very suitable sentiment to use with glitter!
Here's the envelope with a die cut tree on punched circles.
Please join in with our challenge this week, make a sparkling glittered Christmas card and link it up at 52 {C}CT. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!
