I used several elements from her card: the colours, glitter and snowflake theme, but instead of using inlaid die cuts and a small vellum circle, I used a full-sized vellum panel and a snowflake embossing folder. I had intended to use a blue inked panel behind my vellum, but I did not like the look of this, so I decided to mask off the sides of my vellym panel and swiped my new Blueprint sketch mini distress ink pad over the backside of my vellum panel, sprinkled iridescent sparkle embossing power (JudiKins) over it and heat embossed. I adhered my panel to my cardbase using double-sided tape and added a few rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes. Wish you could see the sparkle in real life.
Here is the card by Eliz that inspired my card:
Muse: ChristmasVisions 50 - Inspiration by Eliz, shown above
Jingle Belles - It came upon a midnight CLEAR (use a clear element)
June Rudolph Days - Anything Chrismas goes
STAMPlorations CAS challenge - Anything CAS goes with optional colour: blue
Beautiful rich blue background. Wonderful interpretation of Elizabeth's card.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Love how you incorporated so my details, but made it completely your own! Great to see you again at MCV!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! I'm really surprised that is inked with Blueprint instead of an underlayment--love it, so vivid!

CLEAR-ly amazing ... so very glad you joined us at jingle belles.
ReplyDeleteLove this use of vellum and embossing. Very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite beautiful, and has a real arty feel. I like the way you masked off the blue inky background. I now looks like a white frame around the inky loveliness!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the June Rudolph Days Challenge.
A really striking card. I love how the embossed snowflakes stand out against the blue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the Rudolph Days challenge this month. Good Luck!

Beautiful card and how brave, I wouldn't touch velum with a barge pole, as the saying goes.
ReplyDeleteLovely embossing folder and a great shade of blue in the background.
