This radically purple Christmas card is an experiment in many ways. :)
- It's purple :)
- The shiny embossed silver in the frame on the left is actually regular kitchen foil :) I used two layers so that it should hold the embossing better. The resulting element was too shiny compared to the rest of the card, so I tried to dim it by sanding it a little tiny bit very carefully, because it tended to tear surprisingly easily.
- The right edge of the card's front is punched and rests against the purple background of the back of the card. That's how it opens:
- On the sentiment I used a die for embossing only.
- The picture above shows the more minimalistic design. Later I added the candles, some branches and the tiny bow. I used some fancy gift wrapping glittered plastic ribbon for the bow. It was such a pain to tie it into such a small thing! I actually had to use a bow maker! :)
