The challenge at AAA Cards is to create a Mostly White Design.
Normally I would go straight for the snowflakes, but since the challenge is sponsored by STAMPlorations, I reached into my STAMPlorations stamp stash and chose Becca Cruger's Reindeer Games set.
Taking a page from the Lauren Bergold playbook, when you're creating with lots of white ... make sure you add lots of textures. I embossed white cardstock with Taylored Expressions Nordic Holiday & Plaid before trimming into strips to use with the Sketch from The Paper Players.
I finished by creating my own Mistle-DOE with a few punched branches and some white pearls hanging from a gold star ... and adding a tiny bit of color to his hooves & hat.
I also took some inspiration from the {PIN}Spirational Challenge Photo with all that white and a little pop of color.
Oh I so love this. I often emboss dies to give them extra texture, but ... what wonderful use of embossing to cut out strips. Love the total effect of the card.
