Holiday Card Class

So I'm taking another card class... this time the focus is on holiday cards. Just what I need to get the ball rolling ...

So the first day of classes provided some great inspiration. The card I'm using for inspiration involved a Z-fold card with a banner that spanned the entire card. I liked the colors of kraft and a light blue and light green and decided to pull from those.

So I took a Sizzix Snowflake Die for the focal point, a snowflake embossing folder for the background, some Kraft for the cardbase and light blue cardstock for the snowflake. I wanted a "banner" that fit the idea of a snowflake so I hand drew a snowflake swirl. I drew it so that when the card is closed the two ends of the swirls align but when you fully open the card you can see it exends across the entire card. I didn't have a Christmas greeting stamp that I could make work with the so I used some peel off stickers to add the greeting. I also used a peel off sticker that was sticky on both sides for the centre of the snowflake and added some silver glitter.

Then a little Wink of Stella on the "snow swirl" to finish it off.
