This is my second post today! Such a rarity. :-). I'm going to share another Christmas card too. Surprise, surprise. I don't think you'll see any other kind for a while. LOL.
Anyway, this card is for a few challenges.
Festive Friday (I <3 them),
Christmas Card Challenges and
Curtain Call. FF has a element theme this time. You need to include a wreath. Here's their inspiration photo. Curtain Call theme is "Welcome Home" and their inspiration photo is also down below.
The CCC's challenge is to include bow(s). So, I did both! :-). Look and see...
So, I've seen a few variations of this kind of card and really wanted to try my hand at one. I made my door by cutting a white cardstock panel and sponging some soft suede (SU!) using some rectangle masks I made. I then stamped my wreath using a portion of a branch stamp (Inkadinkado) in a light and dark green. I added some red pearls and a red bow. I matted this onto some brown wood grain paper (DCWV, Tradewinds paper pack) and then attached to white card base. Using my Slice machine I cut my banner (Noel design card) and stamped the sentiment (portion of a welcome home stamp by American Crafts) in red. Attached this with some foam dots. Added a silver pearl for a door handle. I am quite pleased with the results.
Well, that's it for me today. Have a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by!
I love that you've done the whole door in one layer - so cool! Great idea to use the masks that way and I love the fresh green and shimmery pearls on your wreath! Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I didn't even realize it was a door until you said it, and the I saw the doorknob! DERH! :)
ReplyDeleteA door, how fun is that? It makes so much sense to hang a wreath on a door, yet I've never thought of that! And I have never seen it somewhere else!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kim!
