This is another of my January New Year's resolution Christmas cards. It was also another 2019 card kit from my Stampin' Up mentors, Dar Peterson and Luci Kirschbaum. Its original design was presented by Luci, and again I did quite a bit of modifications that came to mind and to make the card more me, plus fitting some Splitcoaststamper challenges along the way!
First, turned my cardbase from horizontal to portrait, and I added more cardbase layers, one in Balmy Blue to add more color to the card front's framing. I kept the white snowflake embossed layer to host the geometric card front shapes. For this geometric card front, I re-arranged, re-located, re-sized, and added to the patterned geometric shapes. I used the same dsp patterned paper supplied in the kit, and when I cut and added to the number of these shapes. My geometric placements were a lot more uniform and balanced and not quite so random. I also centered up the sentiment layer and positioned only one glitter snowflake at its upper left corner, eliminating the second snowflake all together. In addition, I added a few more sequins to finish. Take a peek below at my finished card:
