Gillybean Crafting : West Coast Creators Blog Hop (December 2020)

It's that time again - team blog hop time!! Since this will be one of that last blog posts before we pack away the holiday stamping supplies, I thought I better get in one more Christmas card!

This card, and the others I will add at the end were inspired by two things: use of some of my DSP that will be retiring AND KISS (keep it simple silly). This featured design isn't quite as simple as it could be but I did use DSP both from Feels Like Frost and Snowflake Splendor as well as two ribbons that will retire (come June likely) plus sequins.

Are you wondering about the ribbon? I created this look by layering two different ribbons. I also coloured one of the ribbons with my light Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends marker.

I could have layered Misty Moonlight cardstock behind the snowflake patterened Feels Like Frost DSP but since I have so much Snowflake Splendor DSP left and the colours and marbled pattern are beautiful, I chose to layer with that instead.

Even though I had used silver embossing powder to make the greeting sparkle, I wanted to add a bit of bling as well. I thought I'd try out an effect my good friend Chandra (Dragonfly Papercrafts) uses. She mixes sequins with pearls. What do you think? I love the look!

Check out this other designs which use the fabulous Feels Like Frost DSP combined with some simple stamping. Did you know this paper is currently 50% off? Only until January 4th or while supplies last!
