This week at Jingle Belles we're going Digital ... asking you to create a holiday card with at least one digital element (there are links in the challenge post for some freebies).
I actually have quite a stash of digital elements that I've collected over the years ... but as with my non-digital crafting supplies, sometimes I'm better at collecting than actually using. As I wandered through my digitalgalleries, I found some fun holiday papers and elements from Echo Park, so that's what I used for my design.
I started by creating a blank document in Photoshop Elements the size of my card front. Next I sized the Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas designer paper to fit (shrinking the 12" paper pattern makes it look better for the card composition). Next I added the snowglobe as my focal element. I decided the design needed a little more, so I layered on an Anna Aspnes Distressed Frame before saving my design.
I printed my card front & then added a rub-on sentiment (which I managed to place just enough off-center to bother me ... so I corrected the balance with some pearls). I finished with a wrap of red ribbon tied in a holiday bow.
We hope you'll break out some of your digital stash ... or maybe even try something new.
This is digital?! Wow. It's absolutely adorable. Love the little snow globe. It's bright and happy, and perfect for Christmas. I can see I'm going to have to try more digital! Thanks!
