I had time to play at Craft Roulette again.
What are those rascally parameters again?
Project - A7: Size A7 card made
Colors - Floral Wreath: Love those Distress Oxides on the card edges
Element - Lyric(s): Happy Holiday - song lyric
Random - Cinco (meaning 5): I count 5 words on my card
An A7 card is not the usual size I do very often, but I was up for the challenge and this card went fairly quickly. I thought about adding something more, but I really like the clean and simple feeling I get when this is not really a clean and simple card. I chose the oxide inks I felt gave me what I'd want to see my my floral wreath from green to yellows, roses, etc. I had just received a Waffle Flower order with the plaid texture, so I used that die and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles die. I don't think I've EVER used the largest rectangle die until now.
I colored some leftover paper in the same oxide ink colors I used on the background and cut the "Happy Holidays" die and snipped off the "s" on the end to fit the parameters. It was just a happenstance that all the words added up to 5. I checked my ribbons and chose one that I thought would work and somehow it does. It grounds those darling elves. I had already stamped the sentiment the pair are holding and die cut it. I colored the pair with Copic markers. Another Christmas card in my stash.
Supplies:
Kat Scrappiness Santa's Helper stamps & matching dies
