I LOVE this card! I came home from work one day and sat down at my craft table (aka my kitchen table...LOL) and made it. I love when everything comes together and inspiration hits. Those are the best moments!
Christmas Collage:
I have this wonderful green, red and gold Florentine paper from Graphic Products Corp. (You should visit their scrapbooking papers...amazing!) I attached a scrap that I had (no measuring, no kidding!) to a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Christmas cardstock. (You will notice the glass gem surrounded with crystals in the lower left!)
Here's a side view.
Boy do I have Close Ups!
I had already added the flowers to the card but I really really wanted to add some dark green ribbon too. I decided to add the ribbon over top of the flowers. It reminds me of when you bundle a bunch of flowers together. You can also see the green glitter holly leaves and red dew drops peeking out of the side! (PS: the flowers also have some gold glitter on the edges of the petals!)
After I added the Florentine paper, I realized that it just seemed so "cut". I The edges were really apparent and didn't blend the way I wanted them to . I could have used color to accomplish this but decided on white tissue tape from Tim Holtz. I added this on two sides only.
There was a big empty space on the right and I wanted to put something there too. I found some gold merry Christmas stickers which I added.
I added large white pearls by the flowers and also at the top right of my paper.
I hope you love this card as much as I do! Come back again for more Christmas Cards!
