Christmas Cards - Day 5


Frostedcard wotg


Today we made cards form a retired stamp set.  Sorry.  But it is one of my favorites...and when you find one you like you better get it because it won't be available forever!!  (Want to know how I know that?)



This card started out as something entirely different, and when I lost patience with my original vision...this is what I ended up with.  I love it!


Card

Stamp: Frosted card WOTG
Paper:  Colonial White, Black, Ruby, Yuletide Carol
Ink:  Ruby, Black
Extras: Red Shimmer trim, Brown & Tan assortment Sparkles

The ruby snowflake on the front was cut out using the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.



Gift Tags

The tree gift tag was made using the 2nd generation stamping method.  I finished it off by marking each of the tree branches with a clear stardust gelly roll pen.  You cant see any of it in the picture...but it made the trees look like they had a light dusting of sparkle snow.  It really turned out great...just can't see a lick of it in the picture, darnit!


Stamp:  Frosted card WOTG

The "to" and "from" stamp came from another set.
