This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge is super fun and I took a bit of a departure from the map:
I knew right away that the card base would have designer paper on it and that this would be a Christmas card. I am feeling a bit behind on my Christmas card list and need to get cracking'!
So I dug through my pile of holiday paper and immediately stopped when I got to the section for Trimming the Town. You just have to know that I LOVE this paper - heck, I love the entire product suite!
Seriously, what's not to love about this suite? The moment I saw it in the catalog I knew I had to have it ALL. So I did.
I used the paper as a main layer and then stamped and colored the house and wreath with my Stampin' Blends
- Old Olive
- Real Red
- Pool Party
- Smoky Slate
- Misty Moonlight
Those colors coordinate fabulously!
I really struggle with the circle background on the card map. Should it be a die-cut? A layer? A stamped image? In the end I decided to a bit of a cheat: it would be a bow instead. I just didn't have anything else that looked good.
And the smaller banner I decided to place in a different spot and make it a phrase for my card.
Here is my Coming Home card map challenge card:
