Hello, Crafty Peeps!
I hope everyone had a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
I am working on gifts for my Rheumatologist and a few other medical service providers who do a wonderful job of caring for my special needs! They are the best!
I used my "Country Sleigh" stamp because it has become one of my favorites!
Season of Cheer
The card is oversized, but I plan to place it in the gift bag, so it won't make much difference if the envelope doesn't close completely. I am not good with slimline cards; too much real estate, but I like this image so much I wanted to use it on a landscape card.
I reviewed a very nice pack of super smooth alcohol marker paper for Amazon. I really like it. I have shied away from purchasing the more expensive popular brands because I found them to be too much of an investment for everyday craft projects. Since this was a promotional item and free to me, I gave it a try! I am hooked. It is not as expensive, and the results are amazing.
The package comes with 60 sheets, and since I will only use it for toppers and not as a base for my cards, this box should last a long time. The paper accepts ink beautifully and has a satiny finish.
I blurred out the background to show the stickles on my sleigh and the bridle. I thought that fairies lighting the path would be far more interesting than trees and mountains off in the distance!
In real life, the red mirror paper adds a touch of grace and eloquence to the card. As usual, my photography is seriously lacking.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Rajani!
DeleteThis is gorgeous Chana, I love the idea of the fairies lighting the way. A really lovely card. I'm with you on dearer paper, I find the cheaper ones are just great for "everyday stuff." By the way, I didn't get my Silhouette 5, but I will when I think I can't do without it. My #2 will suffice and is great, for my needs at the moment. Hope you had a Happy Hanukkah, wishing you a Happy New Year. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faith! I am happy with my Cameo and my Cameo 4! Which is why I declined the free cutter that was offered to me through Amazon. If I had only known... I will keep you in mind should another promotion like that come around!
