Copper on Top

It's been great having the entire family home for Thanksgiving.  We just had my in-laws over for Thanksgiving dinner.  The girls enjoyed spending time with their grandparents.  It was a nice layed back day for us.  Tonight we are all still home.  Tomorrow is another story.  The girls go back to school and my husband travels to Vegas for his work.  So, when I get home from work, the house will be very quiet.  I'd rather have all here over no one. 

This card was a huge hit at my last club meeting.  They all couldn't wait to make it.

Of course, it's made with the Christmas Gleaming bundle.  My favorite for this Christmas season.  Don't you just love the way the copper on the DSP really shines?  The top piece is the copper foil.  It doesn't shine too much in thie picture, but in real life, it does!

I try to hide the paper edges when they meet up with each other.  Here, I wrapped the ribbon around a piece of Mossy Meadow and adhered that over that line.  I may have to use this more often.  It gives a very finished look to the card.

The holly and berries I colored with blender pens and the ink pads. The leaves got a real rough coloring.  I wanted something that wasn't completely polished this time.  The berries are finished with the Shimmery Crystal Effects.  Don't forget to leave that for the very end since it needs time to dry.
