Welcome to another edition of Wow Wednesday - a card design meant to WOW.
My final card design was also inspired by several challenges I chose to play along with today.
Addicted to CAS for their code word Sweater. #CAS293. Inspired me to pull out my retired Cable Knit embossing folder to lend sweater vibes to my design.
The adorable sketch over at Sunday Stamps blog spot #SSC371 for my 3 Tree layout inspiration.
Festive Friday for their Global Champange Day list of insp. #FF0195. I was inspired by the following prompts: white, metallic thread, sequins, gold foil embossing powder, heat embossing and to do my best to keep my design clean and simple.
INKspirational word prompt of Seasonal for my Winter tree vibes because with Canadian Thanksgiving behind us the snow will be hot on its Fall tail and Christmas close behind!
I chose to play with the Pine Tree Trimmings stamp set as I need to prep another card for my upcoming team social next Sunday - I won this stamp set for free from my lovely up-line in exchange for creating at least 5 samples to share with the team for inspiration..
The resulting combo of inspirations resulted in a gorgeous sparkly WOW if I do say myself. Still has lots of clean and simple white space criteria but the sweater embossing gives lots of texture and the gold heat embossing lots of pretty pops of Gold 🤩 My sentiment is from the Greetings from You ephemera with some metallic twine in behind and some gold sequins.
Happy Stampin’

DeleteGreat way to add the sweater element to your card. All that fabulous texture on the base is the perfect background to your fabulous trees. I love that you stamped the tree on the envelope, too. So glad you shared this with us at Addicted to CAS and Festive Friday this week
