This card measures 5.5cms x5.5cms square.
I’m not too sure about this card ………. there’s nothing to it, as you can see, but you might see it again in another guise further down the line, as I think it could look better with perhaps a bit of mat and layering?
Anyway, the background is not an actual Christmas design, I thought the pattern lent itself to a more contemporary style of card.
My apologies, the 3D snowmen embellishments came from eBay and cost £2.60 for a pack of six, but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the company that produced them. I just added a little Ranger Glossy Accents to his hat and his string of lights.
The self adhesive letters came from Hobbycraft (£1 per pack). I added a little Ranger Glossy Accents to each letter, however, with hindsight, I think I should also have trimmed them off square to help them look more balanced.
The silver sequins are OK, but would they have looked better if they had been white?
There is nothing at all wrong with this card ……. all the elements are there, I just think it could just be improved upon in some way or another, I just need to work it out.
I think you're right. Your card has all the right elements in the right proportion, but I think a little matting and layering would be a plus. Hope you'll share some pics if you decide to give it another go.
ReplyDeleteI like it as it is but think it will also look good matted onto white then black.
