Here's another redesigned Christmas card from Liz's November Totally Lovin' Christmas. I did quite a bit of rearranging, adding and subtracting, basically changing the card design almost entirely. I used the original stamped wreath image, but colored it with my Copic markers, and the red glitter strip with the bell, though I moved the bell upward about an inch. I made the wreath panel into a 2-1/2-inch square rather than a 3-inch rectangle and repositioned it near the top rather than at the bottom. I did leave the red glitter mat layer beneath.
.
I enlarged my card to an A6 size by adding a new cardbase layer, and added festive patterned Christmas paper for the top front layer. I added Clear heat embossing to this paper to give it some sheen. The patterned paper really perked up the card and brought it to life. I chose a new and larger sentiment stamped on the same green as the cardbase and added it to a red glitter mat layer shaped with a decorative die. I popped both the wreath and the sentiment up off the patterned paper front.
I am delighted with the finished look and like all the additional sparkle and sheen. I then created a decorative inside design to coordinated with the outside. Take a peek below at the finished card inside and out!
