Rustic Christmas
Many of you know I love Christmas and generally I'm more of a traditional girl, rich greens and bright reds, however this year, (if you haven't noticed!) I'm really loving the more natural, rustic look, with a touch of gold and a hit of sparkle.
So why make a card and not play along to a challenge right?! Over at Merry Monday the challenge is to create a Christmas card using creams, tans and browns.
Here's my creation:
I cut some of the dark brown leaves out and glued just the corner, applied Crystal Effects and raised them a little after they dried. In 'real life' it gives the card a little more dimension.
I coloured the pearls with the dark brown Blendabilities Alcohol Marker. Also, the little heart in swings, adding just a little bit more 'cuteness' - well that's what I'm calling it!
Thanks for stopping by,
