It's hard to tell from the photo unfortunately but this card is vanilla based which I love. So much of what we make centres around Whisper White Cardstock so I'm always looking for cards where I can bring is some Very Vanilla.
This Brightly Gleaming Designer Series paper has these fabulous copper foil accents mixed with Pretty Peacock, Night of Navy and Mossy Meadow. I decided to play with the navy and peacock.
I used Pretty Peacock cardstock for my base and then layered a piece of Very Vanilla (4 x 5.25). Next step was to stamp the sentiment (from the Everything Festive stamp set) in the upper 1/2 using Pretty Peacock ink. It's always best to stamp first in case you make a mistake and have to turn the paper over. After that, adhere the DSP (cut 5 1/8 x 1 7/8) leaving a border all around.
I love using annual catalogue items in my Christmas card classes so I was happy to be able to tie in the 3/8 " Reversible Ribbon (showcasing the peacock side of course) and the Baker's Twine (night of navy/sahara sand).
Next up was the ornaments from the Christmas Gleaming Bundle. There is a punched ornament in Night of Navy as well as a stamped ornament (navy on vanilla). Ornaments are layered and adhered to each other and then added to the card front with dimensionals. The twine bow is added with a glue dot.
The finishing touch is 3 Night of Navy Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels. If you don't have these rhinestones but you have clear rhinestones and a Dark Night of Navy Blends Marker, you can quickly make your own navy rhinestones. A great trick for any blends colour you might have!
