Elegant Edges - Creation #2

I made another Christmas card for today's creation with the "Elegant Edges" cartridge.



The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used white card stock for the card base, then cut a piece of glittery white card stock at 5 1/4"x4."  I wrapped the glittery card stock with a piece of white lace, then adhered it to the card with some foam tape for dimension.


I used the oblong frame feature found on page 24 of the "Elegant Edges" handbook for my image.  I cut it at 3 1/2, using both the regular (silver) and shift (black) functions of the feature.  I also used the shift function of the shadow feature for the white layer.  I stamped my image on the white layer, then heat embossed it with some clear glittery embossing powder.  I colored in the star with star dust Stickles for a little shimmer.  I also added glossy accents to the black dots in the frame.  I finished off the card with some pearl/gem stickers from Martha Stewart.


For the inside of the card I cut a black mat at 5 1/4"x4," then a silver mat at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  I cut another black mat at 4 1/2"x3 1/4" and a white mat at 4 3/8"x3 1/8."  The sentiment is by Fiskars.

I made this for the following challenges:
365 Cards: "Day 316" - highlight your sentiment
BBTB2: white on white Christmas
Perfect Sentiment: sketch with a sentiment on the front
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown: black, white, grey
