Frosty Morning Christmas Card – Create One for Your Stash
Frosty Morning Christmas Card
Create a frosty morning Christmas card with the Winter Wood Stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. Can you feel the foggy frosty morning? Use elements and colors that that appeal to the senses. For example, use a white against a dark colored card base, and different shades of grey. With the addition of the green tree, the scene pops.
I really enjoyed creating this card. I am not sure why. Sometimes when I finish a card, I am not sure whether or not I am satisfied with how it looks. Does this happen to you? When I encounter this situation, I put the card away, and then the next day, I take another look and then I think to myself that the card looks pretty good. However, with this card, I liked it right away.
