Rustic Charm Meets Elegant Simplicity

This month's stamp-a-stack Christmas cards both use the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming specialty designer series papers from the new holiday catalogue, but are very different in presentation.

Here's the one I call 'elegant simplicity' -


Materials used:
  • stamps - Stylish Christmas
  • card - night of navy, very vanilla, Brightly Gleaming DSP
  • inks - pretty peacock, old olive, Versamark
  • other - copper embossing powder, heat tool, embossing buddy, Stamparatus, metallic sequins, Dimensionals

And here, with just a few added touches to change the tone completely, is the 'rustic charm' - 


Materials used:

  • stamps - Timeless Textures
  • card - pretty peacock, very vanilla, crumb cake, Brightly Gleaming DSP
  • other - Spritzer tool, stars thinlits, Big Shot, detailed deer thinlits, linen thread, sponge dauber, Dimensionals, precision plate, distressing tool, subtle embossing folder

The tiny speckles of colour on this have been made with a marker and spritzer tool - here's a pic in case you haven't encountered these before.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kez
