Last year I issued myself a challenge- to CASE all of Kristina Werner's Holiday cards. Well, I didn't make it through all of them. When I saw she started her Holiday Card Series once again, I felt determined to give it another try! I have oodles of cards to make this Christmas, so I need all the help I can get :)
This first one is inspired by Day 1. I love the layout and the big sentiment, so I kept those design features in my card:
My CASE of Day 2 includes a wooden tree that I painted with silver acrylic paint. Don't you love my "palette" in the background? (aka a cheap plastic plate from the drugstore that has a million layers of dried paint on it...)
Here's the result:
I put some strips of subtly patterned paper behind the wood piece, similar to the washi tape tree on Kristina's card.
I'm submitting this card to embellish magazine's paint trends challenge.
I created the green shadow beneath the sentiment by cutting a piece of cardstock the same size as the part that is popped up. I always see Lenae do this, and it looks cool!
So cool! I love those sentiments!
ReplyDeleteFabulously festive cards...love the big sentiments and the wooden tree. Thanks for sharing Lenae's tip, I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Mmm mmmm painting!!!!! Makes me want to get my paint brushes out!
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely love those sentiments.
I love both of them! You are putting me into the Christmas spirit :) Love that shiny tree on the second and the thread on the first!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Jennifer. I really like the vibrant colors on the first one, and the sentiments look so chic!
