Now I couldn't help but go a little elegant with this challenge, so here's my take on it. A shiny silver die cut (PTI) and a little heat embossing in silver...
...layered on top of some crisp, white dry embossing (Sizzix)...
I know...it's a little traditional looking...no big surprises...but I couldn't help but be happy with the overall look of it. But, if this neat and tidy card is not your style, you can find lots more inspiration at the FF Blog, where designers Amber Kemp-Gerstel, Melissa Phillips, Sarah Martina Parker, Meredith MacRitchie, and this round's guest designer, Elena Roussakis have some lovely projects waiting to inspire you. THEN...YOU have 2 weeks to link up YOUR Christmas creation in these pretty challenge colors. We'll highlight some favorite creations as we go along, and offer additional inspiration at the 1/2 way point of each challenge to help keep everyone inspired and motivated. I sure hope you'll join us and give it a try! Come December, I'll think you'll be glad you did!!!
Thanks so much for joining me today!
Stay tuned for my Precious Remembrance post later today! I've tried a new (to me) technique I'm excited to share!
