Metallic Christmas

Color Dare #222 on the Color My Heart Color Dare blog this week is a nice combo to create with as it is simply neutral (black, white, colonial white) combined with any of the CTMH Metallics (Gold, Silver, Rose Gold)

After adhering the three different colors of Foil Tape to a piece of white cardstock, a tree shape from the Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts was used to cut the metallic tree. Other patterned paper included on the card is from the Uptown Fundamentals which includes several papers with a metallic pattern. The nice sentiment is included with the Cozy Christmas stamp set. The stamp/Thin Cuts set also includes shapes for a snowman and snowman accessories, so you can create your own adorable snowman.

Inspiration for the card design is Pattern #25 in the Make It From Your Heart, Volume 1 "how to" book.

Cozy Christmas Bundle (stamps + Thin Cuts)

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).
