It's a great excuse to get another Christmas card made, and so the sketch led me to this:
I'm not unconditionally in love with this card yet, but I decided to share it anyway. It also did not want to play nice with the camera, particularly all the nice shiny silver embossing on the elegant tree. I stamped the navy panel in silver with a grab bag stamp that seemed to echo the tree design perfectly.
I'm also putting this into this week's Simon Says Stamp challenge, Christmas/Happy Holiday cards.
Happy weekend!
Supplies: white, navy & Bazzill light blue textured metallic cardstock, Echo Park Winter Wonderland patterned paper, Greetings of Christmas, September 2011 Kit of the Month (All Seasons) & (?) Unity stamps, Versamark & Colorbox silver inks, silver embossing powder, Sizzlits crescent tag die, Twinery platinum shimmer twine, pop-dot tape
Pin It Now!

This card is beautiful! Love the blues and silver embossing! :) Thanks for playing along over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
You may not love it but I do! The embossing on the blue panel is gorgeous and I really love the silvery tree!
what a gorgeous card.. love it
I love the colors and the silver! Very pretty
Great take on the sketch! :)
I'm already seeing a lot of blue and silver. Your card is so pretty in these colors.
I love the classic combo of blue and silver. Isn't it a bugger to photograph! It is still a lovely card even if you can't capture the shine. xoxo
As if making custom paper by stamping the blue card stock is not cool enough, you went and embossed the tree in silver! Holy crow what an awesome card!
Glad you shared it, its a beautiful card! Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!
I love it too! Dontcha hate it when it won't play nice with the camera - so frustrating to say "trust me, way better in person!" (which of course I say all the time) Blue & silver is one of my all-time fave colour combos for Christmas :)
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I love the shades of blue you have chosen for this pretty holiday card.
Very pretty! Love the patterns that you used, they look great together! And the colors are stylish together this way. Very nice!
Hugs, Wendy
