Christmas Card Club - North Star or Stars


Stampin' Up! Awesomely Artistic for Christmas

Maureen has given us the challenge of The North Star or stars for our Christmas card club this time.  You'd think it would be easy, but last night when I set to making this card I had an idea in mind, but just couldn't get it to work.  To say the 'mojo' had left me is an understatement and to add to it I think I was tired and not functioning well as everything I did to this card went wrong.  So eventually I stopped and I'm not entirely happy with this but have been busy with my lovely family today so unable to rethink.  It's kinda vintage now in its appearance and has the gorgeous copper heat embossing from Stampin' Up  that I love along with the copper foil paper.  The main star is stamped with a star like image from Awesomely Artistic and the mini stars are from the recently retired Forever Evergreen.  A little copper embossing with Gorgeous grunge for texture and a sentiment from Designer Tin of Tags.  

Back of now for more lovely family time, but check back later this week as I'm joining in with a couple of fantastic blog hops.  

Have a great week.

Hugs Zx

The distressing gives this card an aged feel, but there's also something contemporary about this design. Whatever you calI it,I really like the look!

Hi Zoe, that card is gorgeous. I love the copper embossing- I so almost went with copper on mine, then swapped to silver!I was also struggling with missing mojo, but got there in the end. Hugs, Shaz XxX

It is so hard to like when what we have made is not what we had in our mind but I personally think your card is great. Your right it does kinda have a retro look but that is what makes it. hugs Mrs A.
