I am participating in the Holiday Card Boot Camp - we're halfway through already! It's gone so quickly but I am having a ball. I don't think I've ever been so productive in my craft room.
Today's (...oops, I mean yesterday's - it's jsut ticked over past midnight) card was made in response to the round circle sketch, but it is only a loose interpretation. I rarely make cards that are not the standard size & shape, but I managed it this time, again pushing myself a little outside my comfort zone. Not sure I'd do this shape again, th0ugh...I also cut the circle card base freehand after using a CD as a template, as Jennifer suggested - another tiny step into the uncomfortable for me! I was going for a vintage look in traditional colours, as an antidote for all of the aqua I've used lately. I've resisted adding glitter so far, but I might yet....if you can't use glitter at CHristmas, when can you????

Love the colors, layering and embossing. I see some glittery stuff in that embossing. Leave it as it is I think! I should talk, I always have to add one more thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the challenge. I like the way you think outside the box! My takes are pretty literal!
