Hello everyone, how's your Christmas preparation? I am excited that it is around the corner! With Christmas in mind, I decided to create a Christmas wreath card & let me share with you how I created it.
Firstly, I spread the new Mix'd Media Chox Sage onto the Crafty Chronicle. Then I fan fold it & ran it thru with the leaves die.
For the part that is still "whitish", I filled them in with Mix'd Media Inx (Peridot), just to give two different tones to the leaves.
Here is how the leaves will look like. Love it!
I started to paste the double leaves onto the card first. I pinched + folded them slightly before adhering to the cardstock.
Next, I filled the gap in between with the single leaves. Pinch it slightly to create the 3D effect.
After I added more leaves in between of the gap, I decided to add beautiful swirl pearls.
After I added more leaves in between of the gap, I decided to add beautiful swirl pearls.
Once you are happy with everything, apply some smooch glitz (starlight) for the sparkle effect :)
Here's the completed card :)
The snowflakes were stamped using Mix'd Media Inx (Jasmine) and I love the shiny effect - goes very well with kraft cardstock. I blended the side of the card with Mix'd Media Inx (peridot + jasmine) to give the snowy look.
Hope you like this Christmas card as much as I do. Would like to take this opportunity to wish you Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays!
