This tree was on one of the papers in the kit. It was pretty great on it's own, but I felt like I needed to put at least a little effort into this card, so I added some fun flat sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I like cupped sequins, but there is just something about flat sequins that I love. Plus, it is great for mailing.
There was a lot of black in the kit, which I don't normally reach for, but really enjoyed using. I went with a slight chalkboard effect. Isn't this Christmas sentiment pretty? I love it.
Sorry for the dark photo on this one. The glitter is quite bright and sparkly in real life. This was such a simple card. I just added a little watercoloring and glitter to the image and hand cut the hill.
This last one changed so many times. It looks nothing like my original idea. It was fun embellishing this Santa. I added just a tad of watercolor, glitter, and glossy accents and was amazed at how much it changed the image.
I love them all Lindsey. That plaid one...really love that...so inspiring!

ReplyDeleteSmitten with a few amazing ideas I see here today. The vellum wreaths on the black are a nice clean take on the chalkboard look - so clever...and OMG! I never thought to use an image on the pattern paper! BRILLIANT! The close up with the sequins is yummy! I'm feeling inspired here! THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING designs, Lindsey! I love the Merry Christmas inside the chalkboard, so classic! The Santa is perfect inside the wreath, too. And that sweet glittering bunny, eek! I still am in awe that you are creating these beauties with a new baby and another little one at home!
ReplyDeleteLove all your creations using Kim's kit! The wreath with Santa is such a fantastic idea and I adore your other design using the black. What a great way to showcase that gorgeous sentiment! We must have been thinking alike by using the tree design. I always love when a cool design on some patterned paper can easily became a card!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are all fabulous! Great job with the kit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLindsey, these are all so fabulous ... I love how you did the Santa with the vellum wreaths around him ... and I adore the sweet, glittery, sledding bunny! Anita :)
