Christmas card designs 3 and 4 for Christmas 2007

Design 3. I wanted non-Christmassy colours and a simple yet elegant design. Stamped Christmas stamp using copper ink and ripped along the bottom edge. Then layered it onto silver card and ripped along the bottom edge, leaving a .5cm boarder around the other three sides. Attached patterened paper to dark base card, threaded charm using silver thread and sellotaped to back of silver card. Used double sided tape to attach silver card, ensuring that it lay mostly on the patterned paper but also on the base stock card.


This was my totally un-Christmassy Christmas card design 4. Using white ink and a stampin! up stamp, I stamped onto the base card. Re-inked the stamp and stamped onto striped card then using double sided tape, matched it up and layered the striped card onto the base card. Cut two lengths of white ribbon then threaded them through copper embellishments to add some three-dimensionality to the card. Sellotaped the white ribbon ends on the inside of the card and lined it to hide my workmanship.



So I'm curious, of the four designs I chose this year, which do you like the most?
