The Magic of Christmas

Published by bronih at 11:17 am under Card Designs, Christmas, New releases, Papertrey Ink, Rubbernecker, Winter

My card today was so totally inspired by Nichole Heady’s snowy layers card HERE. I always love the fresh, clean, simple yet beautiful style of all of her creations.

I’ve used the new Rubbernecker Snowflakes & Stardust set for my simple, shimmery card. The snow swirl, the star and the top edges of each of the snowy layers were all created using Versamark and Stardust embossing powder. So shimmery in real life!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Stamps: Snowflakes & Stardust set - Rubbernecker Stamps
Paper: vintage cream, kraft, ocean tides - Papertrey Ink
Ink: vintage cream - Papertrey Ink, Versamark, soft suede
Other: Stardust embossing powder, heat gun, sponge dabber

[…] I love this magical Christmas tree. But I have to confess that I didn’t realize it was a tree at first. After all, the name of the Rubbernecker stamp set is Snowflakes and Stardust. And I used the swirly image as stardust on THIS CARD. […]

Love this card. The funny thing is…I knew it was a tree, but the way you used it was the reason I ordered the stamp…
