The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4"x 5-1/4" piece of Smoky Slat for the layer and a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock for the top layer. I textured it using the "Snowflake Sky" embossing folder. I glued it to the Smoky Slate piece and then I taped that to the card base.
Next I made the sled using the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I used Early Espresso for the runners on the sled and Pecan Pie for the bed. I glued the bed to the runners.
The greenery was cut next. I used Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive card stock. I cut each one in half and glued them in place on the upper part of the sled.
Then I made the skates. I cut them using Basic White card stock and the laces were cut using Basic Black card stock. I glued the laces in place. I also cut two blade using silver card stock and I glued them in place. I set the skates together and added Dimensionals to the back.
I took a piece of black Baker's Twine and glued it to the center of the greenery and I let the ends hang down. I removed the backing from the Dimensionals on the back of the skates and I set them in place on the front of the card. I made sure the strings were under each skate to make it look like it was hanging from each one.
I had some gold ribbon so I tied a bow and glued it on top of the greenery.
The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink. I cut them out using the "Perennial Postage" dies. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.
I colored some crystal rhinestones using the dark Real Red Blends Pen and I set them in place on the greenery and the word piece. And that was it, the card was done.
I just love using this set. The skates are so cute and they look great on the sled. You can't go wrong with a card like this.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
