Hello friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments 500th Challenge! We have a wonderful sketch for you to play along with this time!
When I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use my newest pack of DSP, Yuletide Carols. I also knew I wanted to use an Everyday Arch in place of the scalloped element on the sketch and the rest fell into place from there. I added some sparkle with the Autumn Woodland Glimmer paper because I think every Christmas card could use some sparkle! :)
As the card was coming together, I felt it could use a bit of color, so I intoduced a few die cut vellum pieces from the retired Graceful Greenery Vellum specialty paper pack. I used a greeting a matching die cut from Christmas Labels, a stamp set from a few years ago. I love the vintage feel of that set and I think it goes perfectly with the Yuletide Carols vintage look. For the accessories, I tied the greenery bundle together with a trio of ribbons, one being a retired Victoria Lace ribbon, again, adding to the vintage feel. I scattered some Low Profile Sparkle dots in Mossy Meadow and Gold Dots to bring a bit more color into this very neutral palette.
