Hello readers!  This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today and I’m really excited to share today’s card with you that was inspired by this month’s Mood Board colors!  So, to begin, in case you missed the post on the 1st of the month (and every month there is a new mood board), here is December’s beautiful and magical inspiration:

I love, love, love, love, LOOOOOOVE these colors!  These are the colors that the whimsy and wonder of the holiday season are made of!  It works for Christmas, Hannukah, snowstorms or just the cool winter days ahead.   Here is the slimline card I created inspired by these colors, using different sized trees from the Christmas Joy digital stamp set:

Card details: 

This slimline card measures 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.  Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  The base of this slimline card was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I layered all the digital trees together from the Christmas Joy digital stamp set in a Word document, changing the sizes and colors to fit with the mood board colors.  I printed this image out onto Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock and then used a slimline scalloped rectangle die to cut the frame.  I printed the sentiment “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” from the Love Santa digital stamp set on white cardstock as well and notched both ends before adhering it to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I added a little bit of silver linen thread underneath the sentiment strip and come clear rhinestones randomly scattered across the top of the card.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the trees for added sparkle.

Look at that sparkle from the Clear Wink of Stella:

I just can’t get enough of this beautiful color palette, so don’t worry, I’ll be sharing more ideas using these same colors throughout the month!  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!  For more inspiration, you can follow me on my websiteInstagramFacebook and on my YouTube channel.
