Well, it’s mid-July and we’re in a Christmas mood. At least, the crafting world is celebrating Christmas in July as most of the manufacturers release their seasonal goodies. Over at Less is More clean and simple card challenge blog, we are entering into this spirit with a colour challenge of ‘traditional Christmas’. I guess, like the challenge at the beginning of the month, that this is open to interpretation! I’ve gone with a classic red, green and gold:
Quite a quick card – stamp and heat emboss the text with metallic gold embossing powder onto red cardstock. Add a little sparkle with Wink of Stella pens. Mat onto green card and then onto a C6 white card blank. The off-centre placement is designed to maximise the white space which characterises a clean and simple card design.
Used for this traditional Christmas card
- Stampendous cling rubber stamp: Glory to God [CRN249]
- Versamark ink pad
- Woodware anti-static bag
- WOW! Embossing Powder: Metallic Rich Gold (superfine)
- Wink of Stella glitter pens (red and gold) – used in ‘G’s and around the swirls
What a gorgeous, elegant and wonderful Christmas themed stamp. You used it beautifully here. Love your take on Traditional Christmas. It’s perfect.
Simply fabulous x
So wonderfully elegant Neil. I love the lovely sentiment with the simple green frame. Have a good day! 🙂
