Today's card is a slimline card that showcases a fun Christmas banner I created that spans the entire width... and beyond! It's a good thing legal envelopes are little bit wider than the cards are! Since the banner itself is really such a statement piece, I kept the rest of the card pretty simple. I stamped a random repeat of holly from Sketch Greenery as my background in green on a Kraft base.
I inked the die cut 'Christmas' letters in the same green before adhering it to the banner. Are you ready for my secret? I totally cheated and bought a pre-made (stitched together) paper banner for just a few dollars and it's long enough to do tons of cards!
I paired the banner with a big "Merry" from Tim Holtz's Merry & Bright die, which is a favorite of mine! My red glitter paper hadn't arrived yet, (I have some now!) so I used some deep pink, pearly paper. I finished it all off by with some green ink around the edges and some pink pearls!
It was simple, but I think it makes a bold statement :)
Inky hugs,
Tara
