It's that time of year again . . .
we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and
what better way to do it than playing along with the
at
The prompt for Day 6 is a BINGO Grid
No stamping or colouring from me for this prompt. I decided to combine some pretty plaid digital paper and die cutting to complete the middle vertical line:
silver - die cuts - stripes
(my stripes have gone a little cross-eyed and become a plaid pattern)
I sized a plaid digital paper (details below) to make the front panel for my card, I printed the panel on smooth cardstock, trimmed to size then adhered to a 6" x 6" card base. I pulled out one of my absolute favourite Christmas sentiment dies (details below) and die cut the flourished Merry Christmas sentiment and snowflakes from sparkling gold glitter cardstock, another "precious" from my stash. It was from an American Crafts Christmas pad several years ago and not seen any with so much sparkle since then, so each sheet is precious. I die cut the sentiment from plain cardstock twice and adhered them under the sparkling die cuts to give extra dimension and contrast against the background paper. Yes, it's a simple card but I thought the sparkling die cuts had so much "WOW" and the plaid elegant yet festive, that together they were enough. What do you think?

I totally agree with you Tracy, there's so much fabulous glitter on the sentiment and gorgeous colour and pattern in the background paper that nothing else is needed. I really like this card, it's elegant and festive. Fabulous!
