Hello there. I am a Guest Designer for the new challenge at Most Magical Time of The Year with this card, having been one of the top picks in a previous challenge:
I decided to go slimline with this, as I wanted to use two of the berry branch sprigs.
The sprigs are from Pinkfresh Studio, stamped and gold heat embossed, coloured with the matching stencils, then die cut.
The outer frame is from Time 4 Tea Designs, and the inner portion was dry embossed with an old Sue Wilson embossing folder.
I struggled a little with the sentiment. If I used a gold sentiment, it got lost, if I used a coloured sentiment, it stood out too much – so I decided to go with a silver sentiment, and added some silver sequins to tie it in to the card.
The theme is always ‘anything goes Christmas or Halloween‘, and I hope you can come and join us. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Inkspirational – Christmas in July
Craft Rocket – Christmas in July
12 Months of Christmas – anything goes Christmas
Sparkles Forum Christmas – Christmas and include gold
Get Creative – Christmas in July

A great Xmas card. Very pretty sprigs and I agree with your choice of silver on the sentiment. Sometimes I think choosing the right one is the hardest part of card making. I like the frame you have used and it adds something special over the gold background.

What a stunning card – let alone a slimline, too! Beautiful layers – love the gold embossed background behind those lovely sprigs – and beautiful coloring for them! Great border, too! This whole design is just fabulous! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
