This week at Pile It On our challenge theme is Special Occasion. We're sponsored by Add a Little Dazzle, so I used some of their lovely white-colored metal to create a card partly inspired by their current, Christmas-themed challenge:
I used a die-cutting stencil that came free with an issue of Simply Cards & Papercraft to cut the fancy tree from the white metal. I adhered it very carefully with Glossy accents.
Other than the white metal, all the papers used are shiny. Let me tell you, this was almost blinding under direct light! I debossed the stand of trees with a Tim Holtz folder directly onto on the shiny dark green cardstock.
The sentiment, from a Little Darlings stamp set that came with an issue of Papercraft Essentials, is heat-embossed in white.
I finished the card with some holly leaves from a silk ribbon and some gems.

Very pretty card, CG, love the trees in the background! Thanks for playing with us at the colourQ.
ReplyDeleteLove how you've debossed the trees in the background - just the right touch without overpowering the rest of the card. And what an awesome freebie is the die cut! Thanks for playing along at Colour Q!
