Inspiration: Mojo Monday #107 + 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (Fussy Cutting)
I was looking through my Christmas collections and remembered there were images that could easily be fussy cut on the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Papers. I picked the bird carrying a tuque and the scarf-wearing fox, and I created a snowy scene inside a cross stitched circle for them. I used torn white glimmer paper at the bottom to create snow to ground the fox, and I used a die from 4 en scrap to create the sentiment, which reads "Joy." I remembered to pull out Stampin' Up!'s Foam Adhesive Sheets to give the sentiment dimension. I was impressed again that the foam kept its shape despite the die-cut being so delicate.
For the background, I superposed the Peppermint Stripes Backdrop, die-cut in Soft Sea Foam, over a Just Jade card base. I used a piece of DSP for the right panel, matted with purple glitter paper, and one of the pieces of white-embossed cardstock I had lying on my desk for the left panel, matted with blue glitter paper. I did the centre band with Misty Moonlight DSP, layered some Boho Blue ribbon over it for texture. For the six little gems shown on the sketch, I auditioned some of the beautiful Ombre Glitter Drops from PinkFresh Studio and decided Starry Sky went with the papers very nicely. I also sprinkled Carwright's snowflakes sequins and Studio Katia snowflake glitter.
I made a matching envelope with DSP, adding a cross stitched circle in the center and another fussy cut fox image, plus a snowflake sequin to match. This card will also be going to the children's hospital.
