Glittered Ornaments

Hello everyone,

From the moment I saw the inspiration photo for yesterday's Colour Create Challenge, I knew I was going to make a card. It was just too beautiful to resist and so much fun to create.


The card base is from Strathmore. The horizontal background strips are Close To My Heart Ocean and Purple Pansy both of which were textured with Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirl. The background ornament is Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornament cut in Stampin' Up Whisper White, glittered with Glitter Ritz Cool Microfine Glitter and textured with Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirl. The remaining ornaments and dots are Ocean and Purple Pansy glittered in the same fashion as the background ornament and layered with Peel Off's Xmas Bulbs. The sentiment is Stampin' Up Short & Sweet.

I love everything about this card. The ornaments, the colours, the glitter, the layers. I find all of these elements extremely appealing and they came together so very beautifully. This just might be another keeper for me.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Celebrating Pink

Hello everyone,

Today's card is a photo and colour inspiration from last Thursday's Colour Create Challenge. I found the photo really appealing and the colours - pink, green and cream - can make a beautiful Christmas combination.


The background paper is Close To My Heart Watermelon. The striped paper is a freebie of unknown origin (possibly My Mind's Eye). The ornaments are Stampin' Up Very Vanilla and a scrap of green of unknown origin. The paper was glittered with Glitter Ritz Warm Micro Fine Glitter, topped with a Peel Off's Ornament sticker. The sentiment is Impression Obsession Christmas Sentiments in Stampin' Up Melon Mambo. The brads are Close To My Heart Glitter Brads.

I love this card. The colour combination was wonderful and the card is beautiful and nontraditional. It rather takes me back to the 1950s. I wish I had some feathers to embellish the card even more.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
