I've created a quick and easy card using an AliExpress mistletoe and berries die-cut smooshed with green and blue magicals (the green took over and blue doesn't show much once dry). Added pearl paint to the berries so they shine. Stamped the sentiment in red before mounting the mistle toe to the card front.

So pretty. Love the simplicity and the shimmer. The green sure did take over, but the hints of blue gives it variation and looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Loll. The die cut is gorgeous and I love that sentiment. 'it looks as though it may be Tim Holtz...
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thanks for taking part in the May Rudolph Days Challenge.
What a beautiful and contemporary card Loll x. The mistletoe and the fabulous font on the sentiment look wonderful x.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I'm in awe of your work :)
ReplyDeleteI love that simple sentiment. Is it a new Tim stamp? I'm having trouble locating it.
Thanks
Gorgeous CAS card Loll. Love the shimmer and that sentiment font.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mistletoe, my friend! Love the soft green with the red greeting! That's a great sentiment stamp!
ReplyDeleteWow! Loving the look of those leaves, and I do see some of the blue in there. Amazing shine from the silver paint. The sentiment deserves its own WOW! Naturally I immediately wondered where you got it, even though I'm on a buying hold right now. I've bought some dies from a friend's collection, but that's it for me. I don't know how long I can hold out!
ReplyDeleteLove your CAS beauty, Lolly. Beautiful die cut and watercolored mistletoe. Wonderful font on your sentiment. TFS the link to the T.H. stamp. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy P.S. We are getting caught up at home:-) The weather has been beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Loll, Love the shimmer from the Lindy's and the touch of gold on the berries. Awesome photography of the shine :)

ReplyDeleteA beautiful CAS christmas card, Loll! I love that you incorporated traditional colours and a lovely texture-like appearance with your ink smooshing on the leaves. And of course the shimmer of the berries adds a touch of elegance. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely christmas card with the Rudolph Days Challenge.
