Welcome to the weekend and meet today's card. It is the first of more to come Christmas cards as I am working away trying to get some ready for the big day.
This card was inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast today, from the Vietri site and this platter:
I love the scroll design on this plate but changed my scrolls to red for more of a Christmas themed card. I masked the area that I wanted to stencil then using Distress inks, I rubbed the ink over the stencil. I removed the masks then added the sentiment from Kaiser Stamps with black Memento ink.
I die-cut the snowflake and added it with pop dots over the scrollwork stenciled area. The finishing touch was a red pearl.
Also adding my card to these challenges:
Virginia's View- CLEAN and SIMPLE
