Today's Christmas card is brought to you by the colour pink! I'm not normally a big fan of pink. I love it for baby girl cards, and like to use it as an accent, but rarely do I use it as the main theme. But today I embraced the pink and went full on girlie! But I think little Miss Snow-woman wears it well!
Here's what I came up with:
I came across a stash of chipboard snowflakes - who knows how long I've had them. But when I spotted them yesterday, I knew I had to use them! I'm sure you will see more cards in the near future displaying similar flakes! I just heat embossed this one to make it white. Instead of using glitter along the fallen snow, I thought I'd try it with Perfect Pearls. And I kind of like it! It gives a nice little shimmer. I added some teeny tiny little pearl drops to three of the snow dots as well, just to carry the shimmer "up"! Looking at it now, I'm not sure if I should have added a few more drops - what do you think?
Hope you are having an awesome day! I'm hoping to squeeze in a little more craft time if I can!

Bring on the pink, I say, especially if it's being sported by a darling little snow-woman! I love x love her 'bean' shape...so dang cute!! And next batch o'love goes to the sparkly, shimmery snowflake: ahhh-mazing1 I've never used perfect pearls (I'd likely make a perfect mess!), but once again, you've inspired a 'give 'em a try' spark! Yes indeed, this is a happy dancing, feel good, heart-warming, cutie-pie card. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou HAVE got to find a challenge for this sweet young snow gal because she is going to blow all the other beauty pageant contestants right out of the water! Pink gingham on a Christmas card - so unpredictable but so effective! Add the pretty pink bow and the shimmery sheen of the perfect pearls and we are talking total Christmas Princess Power! LOVE IT!
