Hi friends. I am back sharing another Christmas card I made for Merry Monday. This week's challenge is to use snowflakes, blue, white, silver/gray. It is hard to see in the photo but I used Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the snowflake piece after I die cut it using the Deco labels. I also used the thumping technique on the snowflake, can you see it?
I am also entering this over at 52 {Christmas} card throwdown ~ they are asking for Christmas cards using anything but red and green & Simon Says Wednesday challenge ~ they are asking for Christmas/Holiday.
Here is the first design I tried. I like this one but don't love it. :)
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
Cardstock: Whisper White, silver glimmer paper
Ink: Island Indigo, Versamark, Pool Party
Stamps: Snowflake Soiree, Grand Ampersand
Accessories: Iridescent Ice Embossing powder, Rhinestone, deco labels, Winter Frost DSP
Cardstock: Smoky slate
Ink: Island Indigo, Versamark
Stamps: Snowflake Splendor (MFT), Petite Pairs
Accessories: white embossing powder, Rhinestone, Winter Frost DSP
both are beautiful... but the first does have a little bit more "wow" factor!
ReplyDeleteI love them both, Kristie but the 2nd is actually my favourite!! Such pretty cards and colours!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Kristie! I love both of them! A few subtle changes creates such a different 'feel' between the two. The CAS design of the bottom card really seems to make the embossed snowflake pop, whereas the Iridescent Ice EP on white CS creats a more formal and elegant look.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors scheme!
What beautiful cards and colours Kristie!
ReplyDeleteI think both cards are just lovely, but I think the white background is a bit brighter! I adore snowflakes of all kinds - so long as they are on a card and not in the street ;) Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristie. Two fabulous cards. Love the iridescent ice embossing powder - it adds so much sparkle and a bit of color too! Both cards are wonderful, but my favorite is the second one done on the gray card base ... the white snowflake really grabs your eye when you see the card. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday.

ReplyDeleteThey're both fabulous, Kristie ... the first has pazazz, the second has elegance! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are absolutely gorgeous! The use of the different base colors was a great variation! Thanks for joining us at 52CCT! :)
ReplyDeleteI love them both. They are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful but I like the first the best...the white background makes it cleaner and brighter to me! And I love your use of the Pool Party color in this card and your merry & bright sentiment! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your snowflakes and the elegant colour scheme on your gorgeous Christmas cards.Not a bit of green or red to be seen -perfect! Thanks for joining in with our challenge at 52 CCT this week

I'm a fan of the KISS design theory too, so I really like both of your cards! Thank you for sharing them with us at 52{C}CT. I hope you'll join us again soon! :)
ReplyDeleteTwo really lovely Christmas cards. To find either in a mailbox would surely be a delight. Each is delightful, and has its own 'feel', but I a bit partial to the gray one. Really gorgeous. Bev
ReplyDeleteBoth great cards with lots of lovely white space! Great design and execution! Thanks so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovelyKristie, Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteI like both cards - and the second is actually my favorite :o). Love that sketch and I can see how great it would be for mass producing. Definitely remembering this idea. Thanks so much for joining us this week at 52CCT!
ReplyDeleteKristie, both of your cards are fabulous, love the colors!
