I haven't found time to join in
Splitcoast's Inspiration Challenge for a while, but
Susan is the guest host this week, (and one of my pins inspired her to choose the website she chose) so I absolutely had to play along!
On the site (
Packaging of the World)I found this wine bottle that inspired this dramatic Christmas card.
I love to look at packaging pin boards for design inspiration - they're full of cool ideas both beautiful and functional. To represent the tree, I used a Simon Says Stamp snowflake die, filed with red bling. I also love the design on the outside of the packaging (the black 'circle' with the red 'cheers') and thought that would make a fun one-layer Christmas card, so I may go back and double dip on this inspiring gift!
Your gold embossing is so crisp and amazing Ardyth.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card Ardyth.It is so reminiscent of the bottle wrapper too.

Sure wish that my eyes could see what your eyes see! This is amazing...AGAIN! Beautifully dramatic with a gorgeous, non-traditional color theme!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the result of the 'double dip' and the Cheers label!
Beautiful and dramatic. I love this interpretation and I am with Geri...sure wish that I will be able to get close, if even a smidge, to being able to transpire creativeness similar to yours! So gifted.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so dramatic, love it!
ReplyDeleteVery striking - quite an awesome take on the inspiration image.
ReplyDeleteI'm playing catch up, Ardyth, so I'm a little delayed in telling you what an awesome card this is ... I adore the drama, the crispness, the bling ... so delicious! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how smooth and perfect your embossing is, Ardyth. That is simply amazing!!! The drama and beauty of your card perfectly reflect the inspiration bottle. Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much for that pin. What a fab web site!!
