Christmas Card Number Four

Hello!

Welcome back, today's Christmas card has a modern sleek look with purple and sliver colours.
Materials:

  • White and purple card
  • Sliver embossing powder and embossing ink
  • A 'Merry Christmas' stamp
  • A star shaped punch
  • Gems
To make this card:
Punch out 15 stars from the purple card and three from the white.  Adhere 5 purple and 1 white star together with the white star on the top, do this two more times.  Adhere the stacked stars onto the card base and form a line of gems from the top of the card down to the top of each star (I only used silver coloured gems and coloured every second gem purple with a sharpie).  Stamp and emboss the 'Merry Christmas' on a small piece of white card and cut a slightly bigger piece of purple card to be adhered behind the sentiment.  Adhere the sentiment with dimensional foam to the bottom portion of the card.

There you have it!  The stars are a little fiddly and you do use quite a few gems, but if you want to replicate this look in large quantities using a couple of gel pens in place of the gems would make the card much faster and cheaper to produce.

Till next time
