The theme for the Christmas Card Challenge for August is stickers. This leaves it wide open for anything Christmas. Trees, candy canes, snowflakes, words, and a bunch more of subject matter. Go for it!!
I bought these sleigh stickers last Christmas because I knew what was on my challenge and they were in clearance for a good price Stickers are not something I use regularly. These sleighs are Martha Stewart. There are red and blue sleighs so I alternated the colors accordingly. I found that they matched Stampin Up! Ruby Red and Soft Sky so I chose those colors for my card and background. In keeping with SU I used the Northern Flurry folder on the background layer. I created snowbanks with my Creative Memories wavy cutter. I created the word accent with a stamp from Peddler's Pack with fit very nicely in the SU Artisan Label punch. I stamped it in Ruby Red and used the marker to highlight the edges of the punchie. I glued it to a strip of card stock about 3/8" wide in the same color as the card. I flagged the ends with a square punch. This accent is mounted to the card front with 3D foam tape. Super happy with these.
Great color scheme - I hope you'll link up at 52 Card Pickup again this week!
