Last Christmas I designed a card using my old, much-used PTI Christmas die - "Merry" - it's HERE . Yesterday when I saw the latest Just Us Girls Challenge - Word Week: Merry I thought about that card - it was one of my favorites from last year. I thought to return to the original idea, rotate the layout, and remove a couple of the die-cut "Merry" sentiments to simplify it.
I took out my pad of heavy duty watercolor paper, top-folded an A2 card base, and die cut a stitched smaller panel. The next step was to stamp a splatter onto both layers and the sentiment on the top one with teal-toned ink. I die cut the "Merry" 3 times and glued them together onto the face of the card. I added some die-cut Sizzix greenery with teal cardstock and a metallic silver 2-layered bow from Recollections (I love this die!).
The final touch was a couple of randomly-placed tiny silver sequins and a custom pale gray envelope. It's raining today, so the metallic features on this card aren't really very apparent in my available light.
