I'm back for week 15 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. We only have a few weeks left so stay tuned for a healthy dose of Christmas inspiration.
Tonight's card was inspired by one done by Cathy Proctor, one of my fellow blog hoppers, who used a technique demoed by our Stampin' Up! CEO Sara Douglas. Here's the link to Cathy's card.
Here's my card,

I used the leafy stamp from the Decorative Trees Bundle and stamped it on Garden Green Glimmer paper from the Festive Glimmer Pack. The tree was cut with the coordinating die.

Usually I try to avoid direct sunlight to take photos of my cards, but in this instance it was much easier to show the beautiful sparkle on the Garden Green Glimmer paper in the sunlight.
To make my gatefold card I started with the standard half and A4 sheet and scored each short end at 5.25cm.

The paper on both the card front and behind the tree on the square/diamond are from the Take a Bow DSP pack. The greeting is from the Decorative Tree stamp set. I cut the star from White Glimmer Paper for a bit more sparkle.

All of these products are in the beautiful Sept to Dec Mini Catalogue and available through my online store.

Aw, thanks so much for the mention, Rachel! I love your more traditional colours in your adaptation of Sara's technique. The angle of the square layer really frames the tree perfectly and I love the holly DSP on the background layers.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of these beautiful patterned papers, Rachel, especially with the red behind the sparkly tree. A great layout with that diamond feature in the centre opening!
