Stella is hosting this week's challenge at
Winter White
is the theme
We were asked to make a project with mainly white and add a bit of soft tone such as pale pink, grey, or green, I am going with soft green here.
I don't make that many layered card anymore, mainly because it is difficult to ship, not only that the postage is a lot more expensive these days, the biggest reason is I just hate to go to the post office in my area, sigh...... they close for break without notice, there are times that I just make empty trips again and again, just can't figure out when are they going on break, and when they are working, the line is always long, going to post office usually takes about 30-40 minutes, so...... I just get stamps and then drop my mail in the outgoing box, I can do that and skip the custom declaration part as long as the envelope is the regular flat kind and not bulky padded kind.
Well, that is the long story of me not making layered card, but when I make one, I really like it.
as you can see, the sequin is white, but in some angle, it just appeared pink : 0
I hope you come play along with us
Our guest this week is Deepti
and check out the CCCB Designers too
This card is awesome. Love the tonal colour.

It's really lovely Kirsty ... Here the lady at the post office gives me a whole roll of the declaration slips so I can complete them myself. I guess I could also do the postage online if I wanted.
ReplyDeleteLove the tone on tone white...and the layers...so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I loveeeeee the leaves and the sentiment!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Kirsty. I like the soft addition of color with the leaves and that sweet little pink sequin. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Kirsty!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Love all the white combined with the soft pastel green and small pop of pink.
ReplyDeleteI love love love your take on the theme. It's a stunner!!!!!!!I love CAS cards - which is more budgetfriendly with postage - but I also love to create layered cards. The post office here is very friendly; they gave me custom declarations to fill in at home. Saves time; but does not save money :)

This is gorgeous! love the embossed texture in the BG :) So glad to be Guest designing with you at CCCB!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this gorgeous card, Kirstie! Too bad you have such a problem with your post office. I have such nice people at mine I made them a Christmas card so they know what all those bumpy envelopes are like inside--LOL! Cutting down on the "bumps" though, as the cost is just too high to mail them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Love the elegant look.

What a beautiful Layered card. I LOVE it. Hope all is well with you my friend. I am so sorry we didn't get to hook up on this trip. We were so busy, With Christmas and all time just got away.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your holidays were wonderful.
HUGS~
How gorgeous, Kirsty! Wow, this card has SO much great stuff to take in! I LOVE the embossed background! That is so cool! Now you've got me thinking of using my border stamps in a whole new way!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet card, I love the embossed background with the soft green leafes.
ReplyDeleteThe shine and sparkle set is great!
Beautiful card Kirsty! Love all the PTI goodies! Your background looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card! Love it! I agree...much easier to post in the post box than stand in the queue!
ReplyDeleteWinter white, that is what I see when I look out my window, here in Minnesota. :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, and I like how the sequin appears to change colors, depending on the angle.
You're right, postage costs are getting sooo high. I read an article saying that the post office is "proud" to announce that postage rates will not rise in January 2015. Reading between the lines, though, I think that means that postage rates will just go up later in the year. Sigh.
Oh, my! What a gorgeous card, Kirsti! Love the leaves, ribbon, and fun sentiment! Have a great weekend!:-)
ReplyDeleteso beautiful card!
