Working on my sixth Totally Lovin' Christmas make over. I loved the non-traditional colors on this card, but somehow the layout just didn't really send me over the top, so I changed up the whole card, which keeping most of the colors, the ornament image, and sentiment.
Meanwhile, I enlarged my card closer to an A6 card sized by adding an Early Espresso cardbase and a lime glitter paper mat layer. Next, the original Perfect Peacock cardbase became the card front color. I rotated the peacock foil patterned piece to vertical and added a lime glitter paper mat layer.
For my image layer, I cut down the size of the ornament layer and added layers below the image to make it a three-layer combination. I die-cut the bottom Pretty Peacock layer with a decorative layer die modified to leave only one curly bracket shape on its right side to host the vertical sentiment. I wanted more color so I incorporated both the lime and peacock colors on my ornament with Copic markers. To the lime coloring, I added a bit of Wink of Stella-Clear to give it some shimmer. To finish, I Versamark stamped and heat embossed the vertical sentiment with Early Espresso embossing powder and popped on three peacock-colored rhinestones.
This is a very non-traditional colored Christmas card! Take a peek below at the finished inside and outside designs.
