Today I am fairly ambitious and my card was fairly easy after a first MAJOR fail. My first attempt ended up in the circular file!
Speaking of circles, Try It On Tuesday has a circle challenge this week. Word Art Wednesday #306 - #307 has an "anything goes" challenge, and Watercooler Wednesday #142 is Charlotte's "All About Christmas" challenge. I hope you have the time to visit these fabulous challenge sites. Now, for my card...
I think I succeeded in meeting the qualifications for the three challenges, don't you? That's a rhetorical question, because I certainly don't want to hear a "no"...lol!
My card base is actually off white but it doesn't appear that way in the photos. I had a piece of scrap Gold Glimmer Paper on my desk so I just round the corners and adhered it to my card base. The cut out circles measure 1 1/4" diameter.
The DSP is my least favorite sheet from Christmas Around the World. I ordered the pack because I HAD to have the plaid that is in it! Check out the plaid by clicking on the blue link.
My mats and ink are Real Red. The front sentiment is from Christmas Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set, adhered to the glimmer paper with Stampin' Dimensionals. The inside sentiment is from the retired Stitched With Cheer stamp set.
This seems like an abrupt stopping point, but I have to go make meatballs!
Thanks for looking!

So cute! Love the peek through at the designer paper inside. The gold glitter adds the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make the little windows!! And yes - I love that plaid, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, what a fun card! That peekaboo front, showing glimpses of the Designer Paper is such a great idea. I love the way the sparkle in the sentiment is right over the sparkling gold glimmer paper. Well thought out! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
