I'm trying to make sure I make at least two cards a month using up some of my stash of designer paper. The latest Double D challenge is "Designer Paper" so it prompted me to get this one made. It's also for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Red and Green".
I used some old Graphic 45 dp that has images for the 12 Days of
Christmas. The 12 drummers drumming panel is mostly red and green so I added it to a card base and
then to make it more interesting, I die cut the snowflake / music die
in dark red (and twice more in scrap cs, so that glued together they
have some substance and dimension) and also the Joy sentiment die.
Seize the Birthday wants to see "Flowers", AAA Birthday is anything birthday, and Triple B is always any combination of Birds, Blooms, Butterflies" - I've got blooms and butterflies today.
The image is stamped and watercoloured. The tiny butterflies are die cut from a scrap of smooshed cs.
Supplies for card 1:
Paper - cream and red cs, Graphic 45 dp
Size - 6x4.25"
Accessories - SSS Jingle Snowflakes die, Spellbinders Joy die
Supplies:
Stamps - Indigo Blu wildflowers, SU sentiment
Ink - Versafine Smokey Grey
Paper - watercolour paper, off white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, SU sentiment punch, Poppy Stamps Butterfly Sprinkles dies
I love the added die cut to the paper on the first card, Susan! And your garden is beautiful and I love those tiny butterflies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful holiday card! Those G45 papers were a favorite of mine. Love the design with the added dimension using die cuts. Thanks for sharing with the Double D, "Designer Paper" Challenge.

The paper with the 12 Drummers Drumming is delightful Susan, and what a great idea to add the music/snowflake die cut in red and layered up to give it great dimension, and finished with a red sentiment also, and the stamped flowers are so pretty and beautifully coloured, and the sweet little yellowy orange butterflies and a lovely sentiment are both perfect finishing touches. x
