This very clean and (allegedly) simple card still fought me every step of the way. My stencilling is imperfect, but I decided the patterned paper hides the little embossing paste slips. If you squint, you might see the score lines down the left side to balance the rest of the panel. I grabbed a textured card base from my stash — luckily I looked inside before I adhered the panels, as it was already pre-smudged! Then of course I managed a smudge on my newly-cut card base when I put a sentiment inside. Now there are two little snowflakes in addition to the sentiment.
From Maria's card, I was inspired by her stencil use, Christmas tree, and pops of gold. And I hope my outside sentiment makes my carol inspiration clear. I'm also adding this to the current Anything Goes Simon Says Stamp challenge.
Off to link up! Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.
Supplies: American Crafts textured white cardstock, gold pearl paper, Basic Grey Aspen Frost patterned paper, Technique Tuesday Jingle All the Way stamp, Versamark ink, Wow white embossing powder, Simon Says Stamp Four Trees stencil, Dreamweavers glossy white embossing paste
Well, sometimes the tools get the best of us, but I had no idea!!! Your card looks fabulous, love that patterned paper, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour stenciled tree is very pretty against the patterned background! Love the peaceful look! I'm glad you brought this one to share at Merry Monday too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful rendition of Maria's card! I never would've noticed the smudges. You are right, they really do blend into the marbled paper. I love the design with the scored lines!
ReplyDeleteVictory is yours! Love the graphic stencil and colour scheme of this! So glad you joined us again!
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty pretty card Lindsey! Switching gears from o Hxristmas Tree to Merry Little Chritsmas!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at using stencils but you don't get better without practice, I love your card and you are certainly on a roll with the challenges. I have time today (weather induced time) to work on one for the JBs.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself - I love the result! And the sentiment goes perfectly together with that modern tree!
