This week we are creating with the Merry & Bright Bundle
Today's creation is a card with tons of pizzazz...
& a bit closer...
Can you look at this card and not feel some bright excitement for the upcoming holidays.
Today's card strings those bright Christmas light bulbs across the page in Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green foil---they are accented with small rhinestones to add to their sparkle and shine.
The background is also super bright with a bed of white stars on Crushed Curry using the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. This set is definitely names appropriately--each paper is a bold and colorful design.
After adding the "oh what fun" greeting down the center I just knew I needed another touch to ratchet this to the next level--yep, there it was--one of the star trinkets in the upper right corner just added that touch of shiny gold that was the finishing touch.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.
