I thought I would share some of the steps I took to make this festive card. I started with a wreath image from Lili of the Valley. They carry the prettiest art pads, already colored. The prints are on very nice, heavy cardstock.
I used distress paint and a toothbrush to create the splattered snow over the wreath image. I also added green distress ink around the edges. I also added little white berries dusted with distress glitter.
It takes a lot of distress to create a card! Tim Holtz would be proud, don't you think?
Then I added red gems for just the right amount of sparkle. I clustered lots of pretty flowers around the little Christmas tree. The glad tidings sticker at the top is from K & Co. The red gem swirls are the finishing touch. I hope you enjoyed the making of this card shown step by step.
