Mainly White with a Bit Of Silver

I know - its glorious sunshine today and here I am blogging Christmas Cards! These five clean and simple cards are for the Christmas All Year Around Challenge which asks for:

Mainly White and Bling

I've used an embossing folder that I got on a DoCrafts magazine a while ago and then layered it onto some pearlescent silver card.

The silver ribbon was originally around some card blanks and it was the perfect shade and size for my cards! A little tiny star has been punched from an offcut of the silver paper and added to the top of the tree.

I've also dotted a silver gel pen around the edge of the card and also the embossed image. A little bit of glitter glue has also been added to the tree here and there.

My cards fit the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion: Christmas In July
Pollycraft: Christmas In July
Christmas Inspirations: Anything Goes (Christmas)
Creative Inspirations: Christmas In July
The Craft Pad: Embossing
  • Embossing folder: Free with a DoCrafts magazine last year
  • Everything else: My stash
