Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart team's Heart Of Christmas Blog Shares, as we inch ever closer to Christmas. My kids started writing their Christmas Wish Lists yesterday - I don't know if they are starting early or late! Probably late by most kid's standards. LOL!
For tonight's card I decided to use a non-Christmas set to create my background. Have you noticed Swirly Frames in the Annual Catalogue? It's got a heap of fun circles, squares, rectangles and lines in a hand drawn style. Great for framing other images, or just stamping randomly for a background, as I have done. I used Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inks, both full strength and stamped off.
Once again I reached for my trusty Pine Tree punch for a focal point for my card. I think I lined up the stars in the Night Before Christmas DSP quite well in the punched shape! The star on the top of the tree is simply one of the Copper Star Elements from the Holiday Catalogue, coloured with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend.
I punched a second tree for the inside, with some Real Red Glimmer Paper for the star - the copper stars are a little too bulky for the inside of a card.
Time for you to head on over to Claire's Blog, where you can find the rest of this week's heart Of Christmas links. I think we only have four more weeks to go after this one!
Bye for now,
Tina
That background is amazing Tina! Looks so cool! Love the tip to colour the copper star with Blends too. Thanks for playing along in week 12 Heart of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWow Love the swirls on your card Tina, they are really eye catching. Stunning Card.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous card Tina! I love your little tips, such as colouring the star and the way you always finish your cards off on the inside so beautifully xx
ReplyDeleteThose swirly frames stamped in the background look amazing and remind me of the crazy tinsel wrapped around the tree!
ReplyDeleteTina, what a fabulous card, I love how you have used the swirly circle frames in the background to make this non-traditional card. Really cool!
ReplyDeleteThe background looks fabulous, Tina and a nice contrast to the straight lines of the other elements. I must give that set some ink, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your background Tina. It reminds me of one of my all time favourite scrapbooking papers that I hoarded for years. To be truthful I probably still have some of it somewhere. Such a clever idea and very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Tina. Love it!
