Ann's sketch at The Paper Players was delightful - as were the entries we received in the gallery. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this week's Tic Tac Toe challenge. Will it be Christmas? Or something else?
I'm afraid that for me, it was Christmas. I played the bottom row: die cuts, trees and sparkle.
I used a mixture of the Modern Christmas suite and some things from the Traditional Labels bundle.
On top of a Basic Black base and a Basic White matte, I added a piece of DSP from Modern Christmas. Being a specialty paper, it has some sparkle of it's own with the gold foil elements of the paper's design.
The white circle is cut using one of the dies from Spotlight on Nature. I used dies from the Ornamental Christmas bundle to cut out the gold-embossed tree and the Gold Glimmer Paper tree - both more elements of sparkle.
The sentiment, from Traditional Labels, is gold embossed and cut using a die from the same bundle. The final touch of sparkle comes from three red Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Jan, this is just beautiful! I love the black and white DSP is fabulous! The gold embossed and glimmer tree are so sophisticated and elegant. The little red sequins add a fun pop of color, too! Thank you for making my challenge shine! Have a wonderful week. My Friend!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! Your card is a Sparkle Lover's delight, Jan! Gold paired with this fresh, modern paper is so elegant. Lucky is the person who finds this beauty in their mailbox at Christmas! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI love all the gold elements on this, Jan! And how you used three different golds--the DSP, embossing powder, and glimmer paper. Christmas cards are definitely better with sparkle!
