JAI 292 and CCMC385

I seem to be on a bit of a Christmas Tree binge this week. It's great that school holidays have started. I hit the shops yesterday and got a big whack of Christmas shopping done before it got too hot. It was great this morning to get into my craft room while everyone else went off to work...although the jobs can't be ignored forever!

Today, I've used inspiration from two of my favourite challenges. Firstly, Just Add Ink provided a wonderful inspiration board.


Then I found a great sketch at Create with Connie and Mary.


It turns out to be very difficult to get a good photograph of a card that uses silver foil and embossing!





Ingredients
Card: Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, DSP from Winter Wonderland (2014)
Stamps: Festival of Trees, Endless Wishes
Ink: Versamark, Lost Lagoon
Other: silver embossing powder, silver thread, dimensionals, Softly Falling embossing folder, rhinestones.

    I love how the print on your DSP mimics falling snow! Your silver thread adds just the right amount of visual interest behind your decorated trees, beautiful! Thanks for playing along this week with Create with Connie and Mary!

    I agree.....trying to photograph silver things can be difficult. Lovely card - I really like how you have matched the dots on the background and on the embossed tree. Chantell JAI
