Its amazing what Silver Tinsel Trim will do.....

Hi there My Stamping Friends, Today I'm jumping ahead a little bit and I'm sharing two Christmas Card I recently made. First I made a very simple card inspired by a card that I saw online, and then I jazzed up my first verion a bit. The first version is fine, but isn't it amazing what a little Silver Tinsel Trim will do. What do you think?





For these cards I used: Bashful Blue for the card base and ran it through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dot impression folder. I stamped the ornament in real red ink on whisper white cardstock and punched it out using the ornament punch. I used Candy Cane Christmas designer series paper to dress up the bottom of the card. Teeny Tiny Wishes is my current go-to set for sentiments and I used it here with the Modern label punch and some real red sponging around the edges. I dressed up the ornament with Basic Rhinestones and on version #2 I used some Silver Tinsel Trim on top of the ornament.

Hope you like the cards,
Rose-Ellen
