At the weekend we had a marvellous workshop with the lovely Jenny, our Stampin Up demonstrator, and she had done a really nice double diamond card so I decided to use this shape for my challenge card. I began with some card I had in my stash which was cut to 12" x 5" and then I folded it to make the double diamond shape (there are lots of templates/tutorials on the net). I matted and layered silver mirri, blue pearlised and green pearlised card and stamped and embossed a snowflake from a Stampin Up set. The sentiment is also from a Stampin Up set and was cut out using the oval and scalloped oval SU punches. I have also used a Martha Stewart punch to add interest to the edges of the card and a small Tonic holly punch for the embellishments on the diamonds.
Thanks for stopping by.
That's a great shape for a card and I like what you've done to turn it into a Christmas card for the shaped challenge at BH

ReplyDeleteI am so struggling to visit everyone's blogs at the moment. Just back from holiday, washing - ironing - work - eeeeeeeeeek just can't fit it all in. So glad I've got a little blog hopping time though or I would have missed this amazing creation. Love the colour scheme. Wowza a brill card.
