Bling For Christmas - DT CCC#51


This week's challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges #51 is to use 'bling' on our cards. I have to share a short story about the making of this card.

I had just cleared off my work surface to prepare in the making of this card and threw away a few strips of white cardstock leftovers. For some reason there was a constant thought that I should pull out those strips and use them. I told myself that it was silly, but after not being able to get rid of the thought I went and hauled them out.

I was thinking how much I love white on white and perhaps raised stripes would look great. So maybe testing it would be a good idea, so I created a tag. I loved the look and decided to use the tag on the card! With a few more steps, this is the end result. I ended up adding Star Dust Stickles to the strips to make them pop a bit more and contribute to the 'sparkle & bling' factor of the challenge.


I used gold embossing powder to accent the blues and used gold ribbon at the top of the tag as well. Here are some photos showing the layers of this card.
