Another take on the traditional Christmas card that can be easily produced in bulk and mailed without extra postage. I did up a few samples for a local business. This card will be the basis for their design with a few changes. This card is created with cardstock and ink only, so the re-production will go quickly.
The card has a nice gold shimmer in person. You know I had to add some bling in there somewhere! I first stamped the musical background on my Colonial White cardstock in second generation cocoa ink, then added some distressing with cocoa ink as well. I then lightly sprayed Gold Smooch spray over my background. Let it dry for a second and then stamped my images in first generation Cocoa ink. I am really tempted to add an amber gem to the star on the final project!
I kept the inside clean and simple.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
