It's all about sharing inspiration, connecting with fellow cardmakers, and getting creative for the holidays!
I had to choose a card from Debbie Pamment's Instagram gallery (@debpamment) to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit). It didn't take me long to find one I wanted to recreate! I chose Debbie's fun eclipse card featuring an adorable gnome. I've been wanting to try an eclipse technique for a while, so this was the perfect opportunity!
For my card, I decided to put my own spin on Debbie's design by using a beautiful vintage-style Christmas paper from one of our sponsors, Paper Rose. I loved the winter scene featuring the cardinal, holly, and nutcracker, and thought it would be perfect for my Christmas card.
Instead of using the horizontal eclipse technique like Debbie, I used the Ornament Eclipse Die from LDRS Creative to create an ornament-shaped focal point. I love how the die adds dimension while allowing the beautiful patterned paper to show through. I finished the card with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Stamp – Christmas.
I really love how this card turned out! It was so much fun taking inspiration from Debbie's design and making it my own. I'm also happy I finally got to try the eclipse technique!
Thank you so much for stopping by, here is a list of all the sponsors for this hop.
