It was really difficult to get a photo of this card. One shows the detail, and the other shows the shimmer.
I used the Spellbinders 3D M-Bossabilities Rustic Wreath Folder on dark green CS, then used one of those square foam shading things with Delicata Golden Glitz to shade it.
The sentiment was done with the same ink and a JustRite stamp. The gold behind it was done with gold mirror card and a Spelllbinders tag die. I fussy cut the green paper to fit inside it.
The card was matted with gold mirror card, and gold pearls were added as accents. It looks much prettier in person.
I'm sort of depressed this year. Usually we have a big Christmas Craft show, and I count on it to make money for Christmas, but this year they aren't having it, so any Christmas cards I make that I don't send myself will have to wait until next summer before I get a chance to sell them. I've tried both eBay and Etsy, but I always spend more money selling than I actually make. I sure wish we were in a bigger area where there are lots of shows.
Very pretty card Kathi. It is very difficult to find an outlet for cards. I do however find that dies etc. that I am finished with sell very well on ebay
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards...I never tried selling at a craft show. There are some in our area...and friends of mine have tried them...but never made out that well with them...people just weren't buying much and it didn't seem worth the trouble. Their work is beautiful so I'm pretty sure it's because of the economy.
