This card challenged me, the prototype wasn’t my favorite. Because that card had less contrast, it was less impactful. Colors with more contrast made the end result more pleasing. This card is a perfect illustration of the use of contrast. The second card is definitely my favorite, I do love Navy and Silver. Perhaps the first card would be more pleasing if I had used gold instead of silver, what do you think?
Measurements for today’s Curvy Christmas With Most Wonderful Time Card:
I used a Night of Navy Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”,
What a blast I had with this kit. I love the contrast between the Just Jade and Cherry Cobbler. I don’t think I would ever have made that connection in my own head but I love the flowers and the leaf colors together. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use the Curvy dies on the first Joy Card. That Quite Curvy bundle and or its components will be available to customers beginning on November 3, 2020
In addition to the Kit supplies, I used Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler and Just Jade Card Stock, along with a few pieces from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by, let me know if you have any questions.
This is the first card I have made with the Quite Curvy Bundle. This Bundle is available for a limited time from November 3, 2020 through January 4, 2021.
Did you notice that the flower on the second card is darker than the first. I grabbed a piece of Blackberry Bliss by mistake for my pre made flower. I didn’t realize I hade done this until I posted the picture for todays blog post. Oops! It just goes to show that it would be beautiful in Blackberry Bliss as well. I love the flocked poinsettia paper this year, and it add just a bit of softness to this design. I hope you like this one it is one of my favorites for the season.

I just love the “BIack Ice” Technique. Following are some pictures of each card showing more detail. The first card is the simplest design utilizing the technique and some simple stamping. The second design has some die cuts and the stamped gold piece is significantly larger. The final card has more die cut pieces and a separate raised sentiment.

This Slim Line Card is a bit of work. Ink blending this large a surface can take a little time. If however you are only making one or two it is definitely worth the work. Other than the ink blending the card is really quite simple. I also love the color combination of Pretty Peacock and Blackberry Bliss. I just love fall and holiday cards.
