These next cards are for my four children for Christmas and they are all using the same design, but with a different color scheme using their favorite colors. This design was presented at a monthly Stampin' Up card class hosted by Dar Peterson and Luci Kirschbaum in the fall of 2019. I believe the original design was Luci's, and my thanks to Luci for her design, which I am casing with some modifications.
I added more layering, making the card larger, changed the sentiment tag shape, the colors, star positions, and ribbon placement. I also used a ribbon knot rather than a bow. The large center star uses beautiful silver Mercury Glass Acetate backed by the darkest color shade. I have made an inside verse and design which focuses on the bright star seen on Christmas night...the Star of Bethlehem.
The first card is navy and periwinkle (Seaside Spray) and was made for my oldest son David:
The second was made for my oldest daughter, Michele, using Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, since aquas and turquoises are her favorite colors:
The third card is for my youngest daughter, Jackie, and her husband, Josh. Jackie has always loved red and black and you will find her wearing those colors often. They were even the color theme for her wedding:
The final card is for my youngest son, Mark, and his wife, Ginger. Ginger's favorite color falls in the purple hues, and though she likes the lighter shades, I believe she really loves the darker ones more.
