Winter and Holiday Card Series 2015 - Card 21

I have found that the best way to respark my creativity is to pull out sets that I haven't used in some time and just let it happen.

We've all seen the beautiful bokeh patterns on the internet. Backgrounds and patterned paper and full of them around the holidays. I was terrified to try it myself, but art isn't really a "sink or swim" kind of thing; art is a "try and try again" kind of thing.

To my absolute joy, this was my first attempt.

Bokeh stamped background, with silver embossed greeting and copic coloured reindeer. I used a mini gem in red for his nose and matted with coordinating coloured cardstock. 

Winter and Holiday Card Series 2015 - Card 11

Welcome to December! The weather in Calgary has been beautiful which has been great for me because I don't really like winter. I do, however, like making winter cards (as if you couldn't tell that already).

I just had to use this little snowman again. His playful and welcoming pose is too sweet.

Faded snowflake background with angle focus piece, featuring silver embossed greeting and raised copic coloured snowman with glittered rim and pompom.

Silver Embossed Birthday Card

Once again, less is so much more.

I'm absolutely loving this flower set and I'm finding so many ways to make it look elegant and unique. The silver embossing makes the card shine, sadly I was unable to fully capture that in the photo.

Silver embossed greeting and flowers on matte black cardstock with white embossed flower on pink vellum accent.
