Finally! Got my printer up and running. :)When I saw this card HERE on Split Coast Stampers, I knew it would be perfect for my Christmas card. On the original, this was actually the inside with a window through the front showing the blue circle. I decided to go sans window and CASE this as the front.
I think I used much the same inks she did, too; Night of Navy sponging, Garden Green trees (I think she used Old Olive), and Cherry Cobbler for the sentiment and the cardstock. It doesn't show in the picture, but I did use glitter on the trees as well. I don't have a Cherry Cobbler pen, so I cheated a bit on the cardinal with a Marvy marker. I couldn't quite get the tip of the ink pad in between the trees.
I also used on of my upline Heather's tricks with a flat square of dark cardstock behind a folded piece of Whisper White. You get the benefit of the colored border without the need to line the card so you can stamp/write on it. Also, Whisper White and Very Vanilla come in larger packages than the colors. :) Love that trick!
Such a pretty card! I mailed them in vellum envelopes so you could see the image from the outside, too. Very special.
Oh my goodness, this card is GORGEOUS!! Oh, and thank you so much for the idea of the folded white/vanilla on a colored base. What a GREAT idea!!!! tfs
