I made a Holiday Season Greeting Card for my parents that live oversees:
As you can see, this is a shabby chic style card with lots of ribbons, snowflakes, glitter, texture and a fancy shaker. :)
The card is quite dimensional as you can see from the side view...
I added sequins on the snowflakes' points and they change color depending on how you turn the card. Pretty cool :) The shaker inspiration for this particular card comes from the gorgeous card made by Mona Pendleton
I am entering this card into following challenges:
City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #214 "Glittering Snowflakes"
Crafty Cardmakers and More...#129 "Christmas"
Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog "Vintage Holiday"
Retro Sketches Challenge #144 with this sketch:
and
Try it on Tuesday "Winter Whites"
I hope you enjoyed this post.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteHi Stella, always good to have you over :) Yes, Stella, you are right, Europe, to be more precise Bosnia. That's where I am from, but I have lived in The USA for 12 years now. I escaped the war in the 90' and had been a refugee for many years in Croation and Hungary, but then I came to The State and don't plan on going anywhere else :)
