Good Afternoon and welcome to another Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop with the Latte Girls. This week’s theme is Traditional Christmas Colours …
Traditional Christmas
With Christmas less than 11 weeks away it is probably time to start pumping out some Christmas Cards. Some love to get cards using new and non Traditional colours but I also have many friends and family who love the Traditional Christmas themes and colours.
Here’s my card for today …
I’ve gone with the Traditional Christmas Colours of Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Gold. The All is Bright Designer Series Paper was perfect for this card – it even has they shiny Christmas Lights in the paper!
I embossed my sentiment in Gold Embossing Powder – it’s Christmas so it needs to be special right?
As I was layering my Spruce Banner on the card I thought it might look nice with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I was right – but how cool does it look with a bit of sanding on that banner to give it more texture?
The layout for this card was inspired by the challenge over at the Fab Friday Challenge Blog …
It was a fun and easy card to do. I loved stepping it up with the sanded banner, glimmer paper branches and the Gold Embossed Sentiment. Click on the sketch above and see the other wonderful creations.
