Christmas card with sponging

While I was at it I made one Christmas card using the silhouette and sponging technique I used for these cards. I kept the colours subtle - white, blue and green.  I stamped the upper portion of the card with an all over snowflake pattern, added a blue scallop punched border and a green strip below that. I added green grosgrain ribbon over the top edge of the border and adhered my layered punchie greeting over it using 3D foam tape.  I gently sponged my silhouette image (CLKER) with blue ink, added iridescent glitter glue to the open ornaments on the tree, layered it onto black and mounted to the top portion of my card.  It needed a bit of something to I added some dots and dashes on the scalloped border.  This is #28 for this year!!  I have not yet finished all the cards I need for February so will make a few more this week.  If you are needing some inspiration for Christmas cards you can check out Sylvia's blog challenge here or see my Challenge Blogs list on the right hand side of my blog.
