Muse: Christmas Visions


Hi everyone!
Today's card is for Muse: Christmas Visions.
The Muse is the lovely, Kimberly Wiener.

Here is her card.


Here is how I was inspired:
  • colors
  • embossed images on 4 different panels
  • dark card base
  • especially inspired by the blue panel with white snowflakes

I used the Stitched Duo 3 die by Pretty Pink Posh for my 4 little panels.  I stamped the snowflake from Clearly Whimsy's set, Sparkle & Shine using versamark.  I then used clear embossing powder to set the images.  For my coloring of each panel, I used the smooshing technique.  I would dry each panel and add more color until the desired color was achieved.  The larger rectangle is from Lil' Inker Designs and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I am playing along at Addicted to Stamps: Anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Sparkle & Shine (Clearly Whimsy), Keep It Simple: Christmas (Papertrey Ink)
Paper:  Black (PTI)
Accessories:  Stitched Squares (Lil' Inker), Rhinestone (SU)

    Stunning! The primary colors jump right off the page when paired with the black! Cool idea for a non-traditional Christmas card.

    I see that I might not be the only one having trouble with my comments as LauraJane's comment appears 3 times! Blogger is being mischievous!
