In addition, both cards are influenced by the shiny pink car in the Fusion Sept 11th challenge.
And this first card was based on the sketch for CAS(E) this Sketch #93.
For this clean & simple card, the wreath was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Ranger Holographic embossing powder before being die cut.
The sentiment was curved slightly to follow the line of the curved panel and heat embossed. The edges of the pink panel were also inked with the Versamark and embossed with the holographic embossing powder for a little extra shine.
A few shiny pink pearls were attached to the cream panel after the wreath was woven through the sentiment. I spent far too long deciding whether to add the pink pearl as a dot for the "i" and am still not sure if I like it.
This second card uses the same wreath stamp (Option 3 in the NBUS challenge to use the same Christmas stamp on two different cards).
A narrow panel provides a base for some embossed dots and the vellum onrnaments.
The sentiments and wreath are all from PTI's Rustic Wreath stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
Although light aqua is still a close second, I've decided that I'm loving pink Christmas cards like crazy this year. These two are simply breathtaking, Jacquie!!
