I had a different idea in my head when I started this card - but I still like the way it turned out.
The background is HA Winter Trees Scene and the sentiment is from the new Holly Jolly stamp set from Essentials by Ellen. First I had the vellum layer the same size as the card, thinking it would soften the background. But then I wasn't sure how to attach the vellum piece to the card!? So I thought of cutting a tag shape instead. I used the Avery Elle circle tag die and was able to use a glue dot hidden behind the ribbon to attach it. My first attempt at the sentiment was to emboss it in gold, trying for more of the classy/elegant look. Somehow the gold didn't look quite right, so I ended up with a white sentiment instead.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are able to catch up with your class homework this weekend too!

I really LOVE this card, Laura! Your vellum circle is so unexpected and I love the deep blue and white winter scene for your background! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Don't you just love the way that projects will take a life of their own and determine how they'll turn out? That's one of my favorite parts of crafting.
