Welcome to the New At SU! December Blog Hop!
Our theme for this month was a Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla Color Challenge. Both of these colors are pretty neutral. The card I am sharing today is what I would call Monochromatic with a pop of color. I started with a Crumb Cake card base. The card front and mat are Very Vanilla Cardstock. I embossed the card front with one o the Basics 3D Embossing Folders ( the cross hatched one). I die cut the holly leaves banner using the Christmas Classics die on some Gold Foil Sheets. I stamped the Christmas with Crumb Cake Ink (stamped off once), then stamped the merry several times with Crumb Cake Ink using my stamparatus. Stamping several times increases the depth of color. I then die cut the sentiment with the Countryside Corners Dies. After cutting the holly banner in half lengthwise I adhered these 2 pieces to the back of the sentiment die cut with Liquid Glue. I popped this up on a Crumb Cake Strip with Stampin' Dimensionals. This assembled strip was adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue. I added some Retired Gilded Gems to the berries in the die cut to finish this card.
Now I am going to send you on to your next blog stop. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on this hop to see what Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla inspiration is waiting for you.
