Season's Greetings Mixed Media Card for ScrapBerry's

  
Welcome to my creative space!

Christmas is just around the corner, and I've been busy creating holiday cards for family and friends. This sweet Christmas card with non-traditional colors features ScrapBerry's beautiful Elegantly Festive Collection along with gorgeous ScrapBerry's flowers and brass trumpet charm. This collection has more of a trendy/clean and simple style, but of course I had to grunge it up with a bit of gesso to fit my shabby mixed media style.

Close-Ups

These ScrapBerry's flowers create a sweet cluster. The paper flowers are dry brushed with a little white gesso for a soft shabby touch. I also tucked in this Christmas trumpet charm for a festive feel. The cluster is accented with wintry Prills and shaved ice flakes. I cut and embossed white cardstock to create the dimensional snowflake rubbed with coordinating ink, then Prima's Finnabair metallic waxes for a little shimmer.

In addition to dry brushing the paper with gesso, I also stenciled glittery texture paste diagonally across the background with a Tim Holtz Speckles Layering Stencil to add more wintry shimmer. The sentiment block cut from the Elegantly Festive Cards 1 page is edged with coordinating Distress ink, and a bit of tattered cheese cloth is tucked underneath the sentiment and other elements for a soft touch.

I hope you've been inspired to grab your ScrapBerry's supplies

to create some unique and beautiful Christmas cards for friends and family.
