Totally Tropical

Hey there.   Hope you haven't been affected by the high winds today.

It's a bit gusty here, but the goldfinches are still managing to cling onto their bird feeder.

They do love their seed ;-)

Today I'm sharing a bright Christmas card with you.

I used a rectangle nestie to cut a piece of card for a mask, and added a strip

where my sentiment would go.

Then, I stamped my snowflake ornament in some tropical colours.

I removed the mask to stamp the sentiment.

Because the design is a little fussy, I chose a very plain sentiment,

but just stamping it once looked a little odd,

so it got the triple treatment ;-)

A few sequins were the finishing touch.

 

I'd like to enter my card for 3 challenges.

Hey there.
Today I'm sharing a sequin card with you. It might look simple, but it nearly ended up in the bin several times.
Sequins are contrary things. When you want them to stick, they slip around all over the place,
and when you want to remove them, they cling on for dear life!!

I started by die cutting my snowflakes and then stuck sequins to my base card, where they would show through.
I did this for all 3 snowflakes, but it just looked too OTT.
Luckily I didn't stick down my die cut card, I just held it over the top.
I removed the sequins from under the edge cut snowflake and that left a mess of torn card showing through, so I die cut another snowflake and popped it into the space and voila...  my first Christmas card of the year,
and it turned out pretty good in the end.
