Hello and welcome to Week 7 of the Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart Team.
Continuing on with my love of non traditional Christmas colours, this weeks card once again features the Tidings & Trimmings Bundle and the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty DSP.
I decided to use one of the stocking images from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set on this card, and some very sweet die cuts from the coordinating Christmas Trimmings Dies. I just love the look of the gorgeous foliage popping out from inside the stocking.
The Polished Pink matted centre layer is popped up with foam adhesive sheets cut to size. I used mini glue dots behind the stocking so I had room to slip the foliage die cuts down inside the opening. In hindsight, I wish I had given some texture to the pink layer as it does look a little bit plain, but still pretty. In this photo you can see the beautiful silver foiling on the specialty designer paper.
I stamped the stocking twice and on the second one I cut off just the cuff and glued it to the main stocking to add some dimension.
I added a strip of the SDSP and three stars to the inside.
The three Mint Macaron stars twinkle from a touch of the Wink of Stella glitter pen. You might just be able to see a sparkle on them.
There'll be a list of the products I've used on my card below.
That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks for stopping by.

So pretty, Caroline. I think the Polished Pink panel is perfect "as is" ... there's lots going on with other patterns and textures on your card, so the focal panel doesn't need to be embossed to stand out. I love the silver holly leaves!
ReplyDeleteDelightful card. The Polished Pink panel jumped right out at me, it looks great. Just love all those colours together.
ReplyDeleteYour card is really bright and fun and very festive.
ReplyDeleteI love this non-traditional colour scheme, Caroline. It works so well paired with the Tidings bundle!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Caroline and so love the Polished Pink layer and yes love the twigs sticking out of the stocking. I really like the other little bits from the stars to the silver Holly.
ReplyDeleteI think your card is just beautiful and I love the leaves coming out of the stocking. I love the sentiment it always gets me singing a Christmas song I know! Such a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Caroline, I adore that little stocking with the foliage peeking out and the crisp white embossed sentiment is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Caroline and I love the spriggs pocking out of the top of the stocking. The Wink of Stella is also a great idea to make the stars sparkle.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Caroline. I love how you have used that gorgeous paper (which completely intimidates me) so confidently and beautifully.
