A Simple Christmas Card

I created this card using the sketch for the weekly challenge at Sudsol  and decided to go with very clean lines.

I embossed Whisper White card using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and wrapped it with Old Olive 5/8″ Satin Ribbon.   This was then attached to a scored and folded Real Red base card.   I stamped the flower from the Season of Joy stampset onto Whisper White card using Real Red ink twice and cut them both out.  I stamped the flower once onto Whisper White card using Old Olive ink and cut the flower out.  I trimmed the Old Olive flower so that only 3 petals were left and attached them behind the two Real Red flowers.  I attached them to the card front on the right hand side on top of the ribbon.  I stamped “merry christmas” from the Easy Events stampset onto Whisper White card using Real Red ink and punched it out using the Decorative Label Punch, except I lined the greeting up in the narrow part of the punch.

I punched an additional Decorative Label from Real Red card and attached it behind the Whisper White Decorative Label.   I attached the greeting to the left hand side of the card underneath the ribbon and trimming the Decorative Label so that it wouldn’t poke out from the other side.  I made an elegant bow from the Old Olive 5/8″ Satin Ribbon and attached it on top of the ribbon and underneath the greeting using Mini Glue Dots.  Lastly I added a large Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the flower.

This is such a simple card but I think it has lots of impact.   All attendees at my next class will be making this card because I love it so much.

Bye for now, Kris.
