Today I combined the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and the Heart 2 Heart colour challenge to create this Christmas card.
I used the beautiful red tinsel embossing powder to create the sentiment, and then the rest of the card flowed from there! A background Christmas stamp helped to anchor the three strips and I used layered stitched circles for dimension. n order to get a touch of Nectarine, I finished off the card with some black and orange stars from the Hello Pumpkin Complements.
I hope to start sharing a lot more Christmas cards- my craft room is covered in Christmas themed paper right now!

This is such a cute card! Love those papers, too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at AHSC! -Lori DT
ReplyDeleteWow, Lauren, this turned out great! I hadn't thought of cutting that large background into strips like this but it's very effective. I especially like the contrast of the stripes and all the curvy elements, from the dual layers of stitched circles, rounded fonts in the background stamp, polka dotted paper, and the flows cursive sentiment you used. I am a big fan of the straight/curvy contrast look, I think it lends a wonderful sense of energy and movement to a project. Great job and thanks for sharing with us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
