Hello! Today, I am sharing a handmade card using the Perfectly Plaid bundle from the 2019 holiday catty, as a SNEAK PEAK! I am also following a create challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments using one of Stampin’ Up’s new In-Colours: Pretty Peacock. I’m so thankful for these challenges as I find colour matching to be so hard at times. Here is the challenge…
And since the new Stampin’ Up holiday catty is coming out soon, I thought I would share a sneak peak of some of the items. Drum roll for the result please….
This card uses the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Pine Tree Punch from the soon-to-be released holiday catty by Stampin’ Up. The background is created with the aqua painters for a water colour washed look.
Can you see the ice shimmer glitter on the sides of the trees? I just love how it completes the look by adding some dimension and shine to the card. It reminds me of fresh snow, sitting on evergreen trees, just after a snowfall. (Is it too early to think about snow?!)
Finally, the Scalloped Lace Trim ribbon adds a nice touch behind the popped-up trees. I know it’s still summer, but it’s not too early to think about the holidays, my favourite season for making cute paper projects!
UPDATE: I’m super excited to announce that this card was chosen as one of the Challenge Artist Picks! Thank you so much HSS! Please check out the other design picks here.
