These two sleigh cards are part of a customer order for several personalised cards, the customer wanted two of them to be fairly traditional, so this gorgeous Papermania stamp sprung to mind. There are lots of metallic finishes here, so apologies for the dodgy pics!
As you can see, I've made the same card in two colour ways. The stamp is huge but stamps beautifully, I've heat embossed the top card with silver powder and the bottom one with gold.
The snowflake design round the edge of the blank was done with two small Papermania snowflake stamps and assorted Distress Inks, I quite like the effect it gives.
I computer generated the sentiments and finished the cards with ribbon, large bows, and gems.
I'm entering these cards in the following challenges -
Bunny Zoe's - Ribbon
Craft Your Passion - #184 - Embossing
Sparkle 'n' Sprinkle - Anything Goes with Embossing Powder, Glitter or Flock
52 Christmas Card Throwdown - #22 - No Red or Green (top card only)
Craftitude - #50 - Things Beginning with the Letter "S" - Sleigh and Snowflakes
