2020 Christmas countdown - Day 41 (Noel)

Good morning!

Today's card is a festive take on the rather summery May prompt of the 2020 card challenge.

Stamp: Mama Elephant - Mini Merry Messages
Dies: Waffle Flower - Diamond Texture, Pinkfresh Studio - Heather Lowercase, Pinkfresh Studio - Lea's Ornate Uppercase, The Stamp Market - Tiny Tags, WPlus9 - Snowflake Trio (r)

The original prompt photo was quite ethereal and focussed on baby pink tones and a bit of aqua, plus hearts.

I definitely wanted to use pale rose for the background panel and cut my card base panel with the Diamond Texture die from Waffle Flower.

I had a stack of white die cut letters to hand, having tested my new Pinkfresh alphabet dies (below), and thought I could use some of them for a bold greeting featuring cardstock scraps of the wonderfully bright shades from The Stamp Market.

I used the "strip of post-it tape" trick to transfer the letters to the panel once I'd got them nicely lined up on my craft mat.

It makes things so much easier - especially when the letters are on 3D foam.

I then flipped through my worryingly large collection of snowflake dies and picked out the WPlus9 Snowflake Trio for some extra texture and interest.

I added glitter enamel dots to the centres for that frosty feeling and just had a small gap let to fill, which was perfect for a tiny tag stamped with a festive sentiment.

I tied sparkly silver thread on the tag and finished everything off with a resin heart from Heidi Grace Designs that must be 13 years old or so by now.

Still looking fresh. ;)

Happy crafting, until next time!

So cute! There is something about the wee tag, the colors, and the "Noel" that make this one quirky and fun, and yet it still feels vintagey to me!
