- Embossed this time with Versamark and Judikins Aegean Silver. Die cut with S/B Opulent Oval. The Pentel markers once again did all the coloring.
- Bazzill texture paper in a purple shade is the card base.
- Lightweight silver glitter paper (a snippet) was diecut on each edge with a Spellbinder border die. This glitter paper looked better as a border than the Silver Shimmer Sheetz product (at least I thought so!).
- Tiny pearls were added for trim.
On each of the card backgrounds, I purposely kept things simple. I wanted the pretty image to be the focus. I liked each of the cards and Mr. & I debated on which we liked best. He preferred the red background. I rather liked the green Noel best. What do you think????
Thanks once again for joining me. This schedule post will be set for late Monday night. Tuesday morning, if all goes according to Mr's plans, we will be on the road to Florida to spend the holidays with our DD. So very busy getting ready to depart. Will try to keep in touch while we're away, but won't be posting cards! Just blather & babble. Big hugs. Have a wonderful week.
Good morning Mary,
ReplyDeleteLoving all these wonderful cards you have been creating.
Sorry I have not been commenting, Blogger is being a right pain at the moment.

These Noel cards you have been making are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe stamp is wonderful and the dies you have used look fab. I shall have to remember to try embossing some metallic foil paper. I have some that I found when I packed my craft room. Stuck it in a file called metallics!
Most likely I won't remember where i put it later! teehee
What a stunning card Mary, I would never have thought about using blues for the sentiment but how well it works with the other seasonal colours.

ReplyDeleteI love each card, Mary. This purple is regal and elegant. I think my favorite of the trio is the first - traditional and classic. Safe travels, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Have enjoyed seeing all three versions of this gorgeous Christmas card. I'm sure your brothers will appreciate that you hand-made them a special card to celebrate the holidays. All versions are so pretty ... great mix of colours and backgrounds. You can't go wrong when you start off with a gorgeous stamp like your NOEL ... amazing! I do like all three versions, but since you asked which we liked best, I'm going to have to say the first (red) version. Something about red at Christmas -- perfect! Loll xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely design Mary, great colours lovely design, a smashing creation!
