I can't believe that this marks my 300th post!
Another late night post for Dynamic Duos & RetroSketches. A fun Christmas colour palette from Dynamic Duos and a fabulous sketch based on a card by one of my card making superheroes, Suzanne Dahlberg of The Card Yard.
I first embossed my card base with the snowflakes embossing folder from Cuttlebug, I love the deep impression it makes. I translated this weeks colours as Papertrey's Scarlet Jewel and New Leaf. The mistletoe die cut was clear embossed and adhered with foam dots for dimension. Searched high and low for a tiny jingle bell (that I know I have) to add some interest so you will have to just image it tucked at the knot of the bow ;) I used my Lil' Inkers Sentiment Flag die for my sentiment, I can't get enough of it these days.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: White, New Leaf
Patterned paper: Scarlet Jewel Paper Pack
Stamps: Mistletoe & Holly (PTI) sweet Home (Neat & Tangled)
Ink: VersaMark (Tsukineko) Scarlet Jewel (PTI)

other: clear embossing powder, Scarlet Jewel ribbon

ReplyDeleteI'm in love Tracey! This card is gorgeous. Love the sweet little bow and the embossed background. Great take on both challenges.
ReplyDeleteHow elegant is that, Tracy???! Love the burst of colour at the top right corner....scrumptious, as always!
ReplyDeleteSo clean, yet festive. Love this, Tracey! Great idea to combine baker's twine with ribbon. When I use them it's always one or the other.
