I, together with the rest of the Design Team at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown, have lots to inspire you for this week’s stash challenge. The task is to use a charm on your project. I don’t have many charms in my crafty stash, but was lucky enough to find one of the frosted finish embellishments from Stampin’ Up that had been on a gift box I had kept, so it was just crying out to be re-used on my card ‘cos it’s just so gorgeous – all sparkly and shiny!
I kept the card design clean and simple, letting the charm be the star of the show …
I love this ribbon too – it ties so beautifully into a bow …
The sentiment was stamped onto whisper white cardstock which had been stamped with the flourish from the creative elements stamp set in frost white shimmer paint. The subtle stamping in the background looks really pretty in real life and adds a certain je ne sais quoi …
We would love to see what you make for this week’s challenge, so do please join us at 52CCT challenge – see you there!
