Good morning bloggers and crafty friends....
I've brought out the flower soft for today's card, and a little red glitter! The image is by Katy Sue Designs and I've added green flower soft (KSD) on and around the trailing ivy but also add a little red glitter too
I matted the image onto green mirri then onto two more different shades of green card
I also added the snowflake charm (Hobby House) as the more I looked at it the more I couldn't see Christmas card, it may have helped had I stamped 'Merry Christmas' onto the side of the card but I didn't have a stamp small enough to do that
You should be able to see how the red glitter sparkles on the photograph below
I stamped and embossed the sentiment and used pure white embossing powder by Hero Arts
The sentiment is by KaiserCraft and I bought from the online store namely The Ducks Doodahs. Mrs D stocks John Next Door products and lots of other gorgeous goodies (I'm not sponsored by either Mrs D or John Lockwood)
To finish the card I stamped the small Christmas tree using a Distress Oxide Ink in 'lucky clover' and repeated this on the envelope

I love this sentiment |

The lamp post is my all-time favourite Flower soft stamp! Stamp, a bit of distress ink and some flower soft gives the most amazing result! I'm not a huge fan of Mirri - but the green just lifts this image - perhaps I should get it back out - if only for Christmas! Am loving this sentiment stamp! Thanks June!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little cute card.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes your cards stand out from others, for me, are your 'finishing off' little touches, on this one the miniture xmas trees, really makes a difference.
Flower soft is another product ive heard of but, never used or "seen it" in the flesh - but one day i shall xxx
Gorgeous card June, love the image and the snowflake charm, xx
