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.

Happy Stamping!

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

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.
