christmas cactus card

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
I was still feeling a little christmas-y from my Christmas in July cards, so I couldn't resist making one more, but this time with the Christmas Cactus set!

I stamped and colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added some details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I love the contrasting colors of the pinks and greens!

for the background of the card, I used the Petite Snow Stencil and some glitter paste to add a little bit of subtle texture. I love that little bit of glitter on a christmas card! (but it's hard to capture in photos!)

then, using some more white cardstock, I die cut it out with the Lattice Die Set. then I added some details with the Tree Rings Stencil and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink. I love that it makes it look like some woodgrain marks!
I also popped up the Lattice Die with foam tape!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock. and then I die cut it out with the Banner Duo dies.
I finished off the card with some clear sequins.

be sure to check out the card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
