This week I've done up a card to be entered into a couple of challenges, using the Festive Lion image from The Character Cafe.
Their new challenge starts today and if you head on over there you are sure to see some wonderful creations.
Christmas is coming, and I know of one little boy who will smile when he sees this one!
Coloured with prismas, this image provides a rather modern non-traditional look, even if I have used the traditional colours of red and green for the card. This time, I have cut around the image and used my Nestie die....leaving his paws and part of his tail 'outside the box.'
Using gold metallic paper behind the red panel, and a glitter border around the image adds plenty of sparkle, and if you haven't noticed, I cut the snowflake out of the red to reveal the gold beneath.
A decorative edge, made with my MS punch and edged with distress ink and gold metallic pen, breaks up the sharp vertical lines. A rather simple card to make, it can be mailed with no problems, as I used only very thin foam tabs to pop the image.
Now, for the winner of the image I used in last week's Blog Hop at The Character Cafe:

Joyce, your card is gorgeous. I love the colors that you've come up with. The gold and red look fantastic together. I've been wanting to say that the name of your blog throws me a little. I mean, you look so young (and I know that grandmothers can be much younger than normal), but there's something about "Gram" that makes me think of a much older personal. Of course, this is my thought. LOL! (Hopefully I didn't speak so you mind it.) Hugs, dj
ReplyDeleteGreat card!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at ACLP!!
