52CCT - Stash ....

.... Morning! It's time for our new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown - 52CCT16-16 and it's a stash challenge. Patricia has picked metal embellishments. I'm sure that like me, you have all kinds of metal stash - eyelets, brads, charms, paperclips - you can use as many or as few as you like, but we must be able to see them clearly on your card. Here's my card and I think the metal is obvious!

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Flurry of Wishes; Uniko - Stunning Snowflakes
Inks: SU - Concord Crush; Brilliance - Starlite Silver
Dies: Die-namics ovals
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kanban Card - Purple Mirri; Vellum; Silver charm and wire


The challenge over at Merry Monday - MM#201 this week is to use purple, silver and white - done! I've had this wonderful purple mirri card in my stash for a while (years!!). It's embossed with lovely silver snowflakes and I wanted to show it off on the card, but mirri card can be very hard to photograph. I cut a panel of white card and die cut an oval in the centre, behind which I added some vellum - now you can see the colour and pattern! I stamped some snowflakes in silver and added a sentiment in purple. I finished the card by hanging a silver Christmas tree charm to the front. On the inside I cut another layer of the purple mirri card and added a sentiment and more snowflakes on the white panel.
