Good Morning, Friends. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. It was great having
the family over and as usual, I ate way too much Pumpkin Pie Cake. Yes, I had whip cream with it,
also. ~grin~
I have made an unusual card for Classy Cards N Such to share with you today. This is the first orange and purple Christmas card I have ever made, but I must say I like it. Okay, what do you think?
I have made an unusual card for Classy Cards N Such to share with you today. This is the first orange and purple Christmas card I have ever made, but I must say I like it. Okay, what do you think?
I started with a white card base. I cut a piece of white and used Ken Oliver Color Bursts in Orange, Ultramarine Blue and Violet for the next layer. Then color bursts are real easy to use. I just sprinkle and spritz. There are many tutorials on You Tube that will show you step by step how to use them. I then cut a top layer and used the Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders One to cut the open space so the color burst would show.
I used the Memory Box Lydia Ornament die with white card stock and placed a piece of the Color Burst paper that I had left over to layer behind the ornament. I cut a piece of silver card stock to make the hanger for the ornament. Next I used some orange ribbon for the bow.
I used the Impression Obsession Christmas Sentiments and chose the Season's Greetings stamp to use on the bottom of my card. I used Silver Detail embossing powder to emboss the sentiment.

Wow, such a totally different look with these colors, but it kind of looks the way a brightly lit tree would look, when viewing it "out of focus" - I LIKE IT TOO!! Very cool!! That is certainly a neat way to change up a card and give it new insight!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like this awesome card! I like it too. Yes, it is different but that's why I like it so much. Very creative and Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card....awesome techniques....I love it :) Hugs...Janie
ReplyDeleteLove the purple and orange! This card is just so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and elegant - love the colors and the ornament is lovely. I bet a Christmas tree die would be awesome in the bursts of colors with pearl ornaments - really loving the colors.
