Minty Softness @ Christmas...

This card is another take-off from a 2018 card design by Stampin' Up demonstrator Luci Kirschenbaum with these added modifications.  


1)  I loved the soft coloring of Luci's card, so I stayed with the Mint Macaron and White cardstocks, but I added a third layer of Copper Foil sandwiched between.  I really like the additional copper enhancements that I added besides the original copper-embossed bauble.


2)  I enlarged my card from the traditional A2 to A6 size (4-1/2" x 6-1/4").


3)  I changed to a simple Merry Christmas sentiment that I centered and copper embossed instead of the original Christmas/ New Year stamp in Mint Macaron that was offset to the right.  


4)  I used Copic Markers in different combinations of light to dark minty shades plus grays to color my copper embossed vellum bauble that plays peek-a-boo in the center of the lacy die-embossed aperture.    Take a peek below at my finished card:
