Well, to get in the Christmas spirit early, I decided to do an "inspired by" card! I went to an event recently and in the goodie bag was this little tin of mints. I loved the flourish, the silver and black contrast and the pop of another color. Here's a look at the tin....
And, here's a look at the card it inspired! I used the Damask backgrounder from Flourishes. This is my favorite stamp. When you need a quick and elegant background, this stamp is your "go to" stamp! I embossed it with silver embossing powder on black. I also embossed the reindeer as well. This guy is from the Flourished Christmas Set. I added some red satin ribbon, layered up the pieces, added a rhinestone to the nose, colored in the reindeer's eye and added a white "sparkle" in the eye with my Inksentials white pen and I was done! Super duper easy!
Some of the other DT members have a bit of Christmas inspiration on their blogs today too! Check out Faith, Leslie, Susan, Sharon D. and Linda!
Happy Wednesday everyone!!

ReplyDeleteWow! That is indeed an inspiration and a great card! Thanks for sharing such beautiful card. Ohhh btw we have the Bacardi Rum Factory here and I didn't know they had mints too. And must be the same company since it's their logo. Hmmm I wonder what else we're doing and missing.
ReplyDeleteYou're scaring me. I was thinking about my Christmas cards for this year on my drive to work this morning and what do you go and do, but make a GORGEOUS one with stamps I love. Bad Julie! Now I've got even more jumbles in my noggin. And no time to get any ink & rubber & paper together for a play date. WAAAAAA!

ReplyDelete(by we, i'm including myself: give me credit for it because i normally don't do this/ excuse me while i laugh: i feel so arrogant:)... can see things that only we can see. funny that as soon as i saw the inspiration piece i heard the throng of angels shouted "hallelujahhhhh!" however, as soon as i saw your finished card, your interpretation of the inspiration piece compare to mine, kicked butt. you are so talented! i love the silver, looks so shiny!
like always, your cards are the best-est!
Beautiful, love the color combo
