I thought I'd try some non-traditional colors for the Christmas card I made today.
This card was fun to make because it's unlike anything I am used to making! I ran white daisy cardstock through my Cuttlebug using a snowflake folder. I sponged it thoroughly with sweet leaf and then went over that with crystal blue. I like that technique - what do you think? The snowflake is one of the free cuts in the Cricut Craft Room this week, and I covered that with stardust glitter gel. The addition of the silver ribbon tape and sparkles on the snowflakes makes this a pretty sparkly card!
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
- Always Playing with Paper - any sketch (I used sketch #35)
- ABC Challenges - Let is Snow
- Addicted to Stamps - Bingo (glitter, embossing, snowflakes)
- Heart 2 Heart - Christmas Creations

Oh, this is so beautiful. I love your sponging technique to get this soft, muted look. Pretty color combo!
I love the colors and how the sponging brings out the texture. Thanks for the tutorial. A Cuddlebug is on my Christmas wish list, so I hope to give it a try.
