Welcome to December, I hope that everyone is staying safe and able to enjoy the days leading up to the big day! My header for December is the American Christmas bird, the Cardinal! I made a pumpkin bird feeder after Thanksgiving and have had many different "visitors" stop by for a taste!
The Christmas Craft Creations Challenge theme for December is Winter Blues. I chose several blue glitters to "color" my background. It was hard to capture the actual sparkle of this card, but I can assure you in real life it really is sparkly!
I began with layering a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Super Adhesive Sheet to white cardstock. After removing the protective backing, I placed a die cut snowflake border to the top of the exposed adhesive.
I used the Lawn Fawn (Just for You labels) die to cut out the sentiment, I cut it half way and then moved the die cut along, as the die cut was too long for the sentiment.
I had an extra snowflake lying on my desk. Versamark was applied and was heat embossed with Bracing Blue. The snowflake and sentiment were attached with mounting tape as was the glittered deer to finish off my card for today.

WOZERS!! A stunning sparkle-y card Shona with all those blue glitters and so very creative too!! I absolutely LOVE this card!!
ReplyDeleteWow Shona, this rally is a stunner...LOVE how you've coloured with glitters in those beautiful shades of blue- a lovely ombre effect, so clever. (I'm just imagining the mess I would make if I tried it- me and glitter are not compatible, I love the look of it but I'm so clumsy it gets everywhere!!)The sparkle is amazing- looks great in the photo so can imagine how wonderful it looks IRL. The deer diecut is fabulous too, so elegant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog header Shona, such a lovely photo of the cardinal.
