A Twinkly Christmas

Hi!


Here we are again with a new week of Heart Of Christmas. This is the third week of our Christmas themed Blog Share.

A month or so ago I CASEd a card from the Annual Catalogue. You can see it here. For this week's Heart Of Christmas I decided to remake the card, but as a much faster and easier version.

I decided to use plain Whisper White for the rows of houses instead of the Silver Foil on the original card. It's a great substitute, and helps to keep costs down if you are mass producing cards like this.

Instead of water colouring and heat embossing the night sky I decided to use some paper from the Twinkle Twinkle DSP pack. Isn't it perfect for this card? Just another way to keep the costs a little lower.

I used an offcut of the DSP to finish the inside. I had originally planned to have the houses along the bottom, but it looked a little strange with the abrupt edge of the DSP along the top. Shifting the houses to the top solved this problem nicely!

Here are my two cards side by side so that you can see the differences.

Why not pop on over to Claire's blog to see the rest of the cards in the Heart Of Christmas Blog Share this week? They are always fantastic!

Bye for now,

Tina

  6. That DSP is the the perfect addition for the night sky, Tina, and I love the inside of your card! However, I do love the extra work in the sponging of the original card.

  7. Makes me wish for snow at Christmas time just like when I was a kid. I do miss that (But not the cold)

  8. I agree Tina, that's the perfect dsp for your night sky. The inside of your card is just as special as the front - beautiful card.
