I have gotten very bad at getting ahead on Christmas. I was way ahead last year and it made that last month so much easier. I have to remember that feeling and get moving again this year. This week's
Merry Monday kicked me into gear because I love white-on-white Christmas cards.
FYI - I gave up trying to get a good picture of this one. I have trouble with white cards. I have trouble with glitter. I didn't stand a chance of getting a great picture of this, so I gave up fairly early!
Here's a close-up. I was trying to get a more dimensional look by layering two of the tree die cuts. You can see that some trees are behind the top layer - but it's really too subtle to be really effective.
- Stamps: Mama Elephant Merry Greetings
- Paper: white
- Ink: Versamark
- Accessories: My Favorite Things Tree Lines die, Memory Box Star of Wonder die, Heat-n-Stick powder, Martha Stewart Fine Crystal Glitter, Pretty Pink Posh 4 mm Sparkling Clear sequins, Lawn Fawn twine
Your card is beautiful Kim , despite the fact that you struggled with the photograph!
ReplyDelete(... and I share your feelings about white and glitter...beautiful but oh so difficult to photograph!)
Stunning card! I agree, white and glitter are so hard to photograph. I am so happy you played along with Merry Monday this week! Yay!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card and I agree 100% about how hard it is to photograph white and glitter...you are definitely not alone! Your sentiment is perfect for this card too! :0)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, love the glitter!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kim, that is absolutely exquisite; I Pinned it onto 3 different boards, as a matter of fact :) And here's a coincidence: I have a post that went live today using the other MFT Die-namics treeline die; it's a summer camping card. I'd love for you to check it out! http://www.valbydesign.com/send-troubles-backpacking-favorite-things/
