Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - Delft Tiles Inspired Christmas Card

Hi Everybody,

and yet another Christmas card. At this point, I am looking forward making non-Christmas cards again....

I recently went on a trip to Holland and visited Delft, which is just an amazingly beautiful old town. Delft pottery and Delft tiles are famous and I wanted to recreated that on a card.


This card actually was not easy to create. I tried out how to arrange the stamp on my card on scrap paper. Stamping the Snowflake Present 4 times seemed to be best. I ended up trimming the card base more and more..... Mounted it onto blue card stock, that I liberally splattered on. Even that I ended up trimming and finally mounting it on a regular card base. 


But still something was missing...so I added Stickles to all those little snowflakes. Finally I was happy!



Fiddled the sentiment in at the bottom. Too bad you can't see very well how nice it sparkles.


And for the  last day today:

Black Friday to Cyber Monday, Nov. 29th - December 3rd will be 30% off the entire Store and free shipping for $25.00 US, and $35.00 International.

No photo description available.

Happy Stamping!


And just to show you what Delft tiles might look like:

Well, it might have been a challenge to get the look you wanted but you definitely cracked it in the end. I love it, the sparkle is the perfect finishing touch xx

You definitely got the Delft essence down pat...one of my favorite color combos is vibrant blue on white...simple but impactful. This color blue is fantastic...especially with a little twinkle.
