I love to use the Peace on Earth mood board (see at end of post) to inspire my card for the Design Team. For this one, I was inspired by the buffalo check in the top right image and the Santa and sleigh in one of the snow globes in the bottom left image.
I had a little scrap of buffalo check wool ribbon that I took off a Christmas floral arrangement. I wrapped it around a piece of black cs. Then die cut the Santa sleigh and the sentiment twice each out of white cs and glued them together. Then glued them on the panel. I specifically chose that sentiment die as the swirls on the word "be" went well with the swirls on the Santa die. I taped the buffalo check to the back of the black panel, and added fun foam around it so that it wouldn't make lumps on the card base.
There's lots of other inspiration over at Peace on Earth - a few of the other Design Team members also used the buffalo check. We'd love to have you join us, whether you're inspired by our mood board or just want to post an "anything Christmas" card.
Supplies:
Paper - white and black cs
Size - 6x4.25"
Accessories - buffalo check wool ribbon, Memory Box "be merry" die, unknown Santa sleigh die, fun foam
OMG how creative and absolutely beautiful! Very clever thinking!!! Thanks for awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love Buffalo Plaid and this is a beautiful card, Susan. The swirls are dramatic on both sleigh die and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThat red and black plaid wool ribbon looks wonderful wrapped around the black card Susan, and great contrast with the layered up white Santa with his sleigh and added sentiment. x
