Today's card is for the Freshly Made Sketches #214 challenge, which is a sketch by Jen T. This is her great sketch.
This card was heavily influenced by a video that Tami White did on You Tube and I have gone slightly off the positioning of Jen's terrific sketch and I have used a bauble instead of a snowflake, but I think (hope) it's close enough. Here is my card.
First, I cut the SU bauble out of white, gold foil and black glitter card-stock, then, I used the SU framelits to cut the Santa sleigh from the white card-stock, the houses out of the black glitter card-stock and then the Christmas sentiment out of gold foil card-stock with a Clearly Besotted die.
Next, I layered up the bauble pieces, attached some gold thread and used SSS 'Falling Snow' stencil to add some glitter via some Gold Sparkle Gel - love that stuff - on to a slightly smaller panel.
When all was dry, I adhered the bauble with some foam tape and the panel on to the base card, also with foam tape.
I just love all that sparkle and shine! Thank you for your visit today and for any comments you leave, I really appreciate it! Have a lovely day! Hazel xx

Gorgeous card Hazel, just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly gorgeous scene you have created within that ornament. LOVE the golden snowflakes. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful.. I really love all the gold. I have that same exact stencil out on my desk, as I just used it, and wish I had that beautiful gold, as I just used white. Gold snow is a fantastic effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is just full of wonderful sparkle and shine! I love the dimension you've created by using three different colors of cardstock for the ornament. And I've never heard of Gold Sparkle Gel but I suspect that I need it for my stash. Do tell!!
ReplyDeleteStunning use of dies! Love the city scape within the ornament! Awesome card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous Hazel and love all that gold, especially the glittery background. Stunning card!!
ReplyDeleteI love decorated ornament cards, Hazel :)
