Silver Christmas - Week 12 Card

Good Evening to you all,

 

 
This week's card's colours are white, silver and red. There was a lot of measuring and guillotining for this card as there is quite a few matting layers. The main feature is the embossed pearlescent topper using a new embossing folder which has some of the many phrases associated with Christmas on it.

 

 
The insert is another altered digital one from Bearly Mine Designs.

 

Materials used:
  • Cardstock: Papermill Direct - White Hammered C2 (base); Payper Box - Silver Mirror; Silver Embossed; Black/White Snowflake (matting layers)
  • Paper: Super Smooth Matt Paper (insert); Bearly Mine Design - Christmas Inserts #40
  • Embellishments: Red satin ribbon & square red gems (from stash) 
 And as usual I'm rushing at the last minute - it's been another busy week. I'm entering this card for the usual challenges:
Happy Crafting

What a beautiful card, Elizabeth - glad you got it here in time - love all the layers and the embossing. And what a bonus that insert is - very classy. Thanks for joining in my CHNC challenge 12. I'm just preparing challenge 13 for tomorrow - look forward to seeing what you do for that (it's an easy peasy one!) x

Great card Elizabeth.... Super insert. I have informed my hubby this morning that we are going to be crossing the scots border for an adventure. He did look at me a bit odd as we swore we would never go to Scotland again after the last time.... We made the mistake of coming in January which I hear is the worst time to come. We were living on a budget as we were students and we nearly froze to death. You have painted a picture of such a magical place that I am going to give it another try. Saving my pennies now for our adventure and then I wil be asking you loads of questions about where to go. Good luck with your challenges.
Love
Carrie

Hi Elizabeth - I've also been browsing your blog and agree that you've got some great ideas. Re. the magnetic bookmarks you just commented on (on my blog) - if you want a few pairs of the self-adhesive magnet pieces (I buy them ready cut and in pairs) do let me know and I'll pop some in the post to you. I have plenty here! Di x
