Really, it's almost Christmas?! I have missed sharing my creations with you but just wasn't able to. More on that in another post. Today I want to share some Christmas cards with you. I have been having a festive time with the new Tim Holtz Sizzix dies Evergreen and Woodlands. Oh Christmas Tree! Such versatile dies!
Wanting to keep things simple and quick, I used the Yuletide paper pad for the snow and the background. Metallic Kraft Core cardstock was used for the words and accents. I used texture paste to create the snow on the trees as well as flicks of white picket fence paint to give the feel of snow fall.
One last card is a steampunk, masculine Christmas for a friend in the construction industry. I used the same Yuletide paper pad and the metallic Kraft core. This time I embossed the copper metallic with the blueprint texture fade and sanded and inked it for a grungy feel.
These tiles are inspired by Paula Cheney. Check out her tutorial on her blog One Lucky Day http://www.oneluckyday.net/2015/12/star-bright-tree.html

Sharon, I love your cards, especially how you used both the positive and negative :)
ReplyDeleteI love the balance in your cards. I would never have thought to use those papers for snow, but they really work. Thanks for the inspiration.
