Greetings, Sweet Friends! Hope this finds you doing well. So happy you could stop by.
Today I'm showing a Christmas card for the Scrapy Land ANYTHING GOES challenge, with this flat, easy-to-mail, distressed style card. The die cuts are "mix-and-match" from several Scrapy Land manufacturers.
(Scrapy Land dies shown below with their links)
 |
-Impression Obsession Border Duo 2 (bottom scallop border)
-Die Versions - Wee Petites “Snow Flurries” DWP-004 -Sue Wilson Gemini Collection URSA CED4402 -Sue Wilson Santa's Sleigh CED3043 -Sue Wilson Snowflake Corner, Border and Tag CED3019 -Sue Wilson Festive Collection -Spellbinders Scallop Ovals -Spellbinders Lg Scallop Rectangles (upper scallop borders) |
Although the card is A7 (5x7), the design easily could be broken in half and still look pretty!
1. Use on an A2 "small size" card (top portion).
2. Or use on a "business size" card (bottom portion).
A tiny scallop edge from Impression Obsession provides a finishing touch along the bottom.
Sparkle N Sprinkle Cloud Nine Microfine Velvet Glitter accents the distressed edges, the area around Santa's sleigh, and the 3 snow flakes.
Looking forward to seeing your entry at the Scrapy Land ANYTHING GOES challenge, for a chance to win $15 prize!

Wow, this is superb Donna! Love how you combined all the different dies to create this masterpiece. The monochromatic look really works well too, with the sparkle from the glitter. The swirling blue ink makes for an impressive sky. Truly gorgeous.
Where to start Donna, your glorious Christmas card or that Poppy blog header - think it might be a new once whilst I was on 'sick leave' or maybe holidays. Whatever I adore it as you might guess.
As for you card, such a super collections of dies all so cleverly placed as thought that was just how they were meant to be and the monochromatic colours work a treat.
Hope you are doing as well as can be.

Donna, So gorgeous, I love EVERYTHING all the die cuts. I did not see the name for the holly you need to tell me what die that is??? You must like blues, fantastic job because I love all the shades you added so much wonderful glitter, sparkle and the distress edges, WONDERFUL! The more I look the more I see how you did things, pretty awesome girl friend, love how you did with the Sue Wilson corner and used the holly on top, pretty creative. Great idea to use the embossing folder. I could go on.
Hugs, Pat♥

What a gorgeous winter card and I love how you added those little embossed swiss dots to your die cut border! I like to make flat cards for holiday mailing and this design shows that flat doesn't have to mean boring!! The inking along the edge gives nice dimension to your card, as well as color.

Hello dearest Donna,
How I wish I could find time to send an email to you but I am sure that you can feel my vibe.
Lol.
Your monochrome card is awesome and I love it's gentle colours.
Thank you for all your kind words and loving support which I greatly cherish and value.
Life is good and with it comes other stuff like Zeenya taking longer than expected to settle in her new school. I know it will work out but as a mother you know how we are. We wish we could make their life easier knowing that they have to go through the storms that life brings to them.
How are you doing, dear kind lady?
Lots of love,
M

Oh my Donna this is beautiful what an amazing, wonderful design I love the die cuts and borders you have used to create such a divine Christmas card, the blue and white is a favourite colour of mine it always reminds me of Dresden china, looking at your card real close you can see the amount of work you have put into it, superb make. Donna thank you for your comment on my latest post, every time I see your picture I always think how beautiful you look if you had black hair in your younger years you must have been a stunner.
