"Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody..."

Ok so, I'm trying my hand at a white-on-white Christmas card. (Sorry for the poor quality pic...I'm just using my phone for right now...) But now I'm stuck. Where do I go from here?

I want to stamp on the circle. What colour?

A friend of mine suggested changing the pearl out for something gold, and doing some gold embossed stamped image or greeting. I'll probably try that first... but if any of you out in the blog-o-sphere have any ideas...leave a comment and let me know what they are! I would appreciate any feedback.

I love everything about this card though. Especially the fancy flourishes! I think they add so much to the card.

Supplies:
White card stock: Recollections
Punch: Fiskars Threading Water
Dies: Layered Poinsetta and Standard Circles, Spellbinders; Fancy Flourish, Die-Namics; Top Note Die, Stampin' Up!
Pearl: Recollections
Embossing folder: Basic Grey Figgy Pudding "Flowers"

Have a fab day! :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU!

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU!

I reworked the card a bit. Added a bigger circle and moved the flower down. I think they both look good. Just playing around with the design a little more.
