Hello and Happy Sunday! It's the 15th of the month (wow, how did we get here so quickly?) and a new challenge start at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. This month we have an optional mood board full of Autumn colored Mums:
For my team project this month, I've worked with the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Mums die set and created a Christmas Card. Who says you can't use Mums on a Christmas card heh?
To start, I've die cut all the bits from white card and ink blended the color using different shades of Red and Green Distress Inks. After building the floral display, I've splattered with Dr. Ph. Martin's Pen White Ink.
The background panel was embossed with a snowflake pattern and an arched window was cut, another arch cut from patterned paper and adhered behind the opening. A thin gold glitter mat was added before adhering to the card base.
Foam pads were added between some floral layers, the sentiment from the oldie but goodie Whimsy Stamps Christmas Moments stamp set was heat embossed and also popped on foam pads. To finish it off, Gold Dazzles were added for the necessary holiday sparkle.
The team and I invite you to join us this month at the Challenge and share your Floral Focused projects. I also hope you'll step outside the box and use some non-traditional Christmas items to create a Christmas card (or cards) this year.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
This is just lovely, Donna
