Are you sick of Christmas yet? I'm not, hee hee! Really, I have a ton of cards to make for myself and others that have ordered hand-made cards from me so I need to make lots ... So, in keeping with that goal, today's Inkspirations Challenge is a Christmas themed card for me! I love the bold and non-traditional colours this inspiration photo gave me for a Christmas card. It's different but not overwhelmingly so, wouldn't you say?
As you may or may not notice, I got a new tool! I finally broke down and got the Mover's & Shapers Curly Label die. I never really saw the point until I started seeing all these wonderful cards with cut outs in them. Also, all the shapes perfectly match the SU punches that I already have except that they are larger which is fabu for layering!! and I'm certainly keen on layering!! With this month's hostess special, I only paid $14 for it instead of the $58 (I think) that it originally is, so now was the perfect time for me to get it too :)
The sentiment and the tree are both stamped using craft ink and then embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I *love* Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I do believe I use it on pretty much every Christmas card I make!
Check out the rest of the Inkspiration team's projects form today's inspiration challenge!! Don't forget to make your project and link it up on Keesh's blog (the mastermind of all these wonderful challenges!)!!
I hope you like my card! Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
