Welcome to a new week's Heart Of Christmas.
In September you can earn the Dashing Along DSP pack FREE with a qualifying order. Us lucky demonstrators got to get our hands on it a month early, and I have had a little (OK, a lot) of fun with it. I think the paper I have used on today's card is my favourite in the pack.
Isn't that design in tonal Cherry Cobbler just luscious? I layered it on a Cherry Cobbler cardstock base, as any other colour looked a bit jarring with the design I was going for. I love the look, and will certainly be doing it again!
To stretch the crafting dollar a bit further, I die cut the star from the Gold Foil layer that's under the main panel. No-one would ever know, and it's a very handy trick! I washed under the star with Cherry Cobbler ink, deliberately making the section that sits under the centre of the star a little darker.
There's more of that lovely DSP and Gold Foil on the inside. It's always worth doing your insides, it doesn't take much more effort, but it really lifts your cards to the next level.
How are you going with your Christmas cards? You can find lots of inspiration with the rest of this week's cards over at Claire's blog.
Bye for now,
