I love cruising through the blogs, looking at the cards and projects posted on all the demonstrators sites, I can browse through 50 sites in half an hour, picking up 2 or 3 projects that I will copy. This is actually one that I found on a blog.
But when you actually sit down and play with it, everything changes. This is actually a black and white card. Really! With a pop of red! And just a hint of green/yellow. Right? Do you see it? I have covered the base of the card with a pretty b&w pattern, and a panel of basic black cardstock. Then I stamped the fireplace from the photopolymer set Get Your Santa On and added that white panel. I used a narrow strip of the wonderful Under the Tree Specialty DSP popped up on dimensional adhesive dots and a gathered length of red ribbon for some texture.
Just adding the strip of DSP (designer series paper) and the ribbon completely transforms the card into a colorful and cheerful Christmas card. Of course, the punchline of Santa being stuck in the fireplace helps too!
