Couture Creations Doily Die goes masculine!

Hey, there - it's Deborah again, sharing my second post as the December Guest Designer here at the Crop Stop blog!

I love all of the traditional Christmas colors, but sometimes I like to change it up. For today's card, I decided to use a charcoal grey for the card base and doily die cut, and I have to admit that I rather like it! I'm thinking of sending it to a guy friend of ours because the charcoal color really counterbalances the feminine elements found in the ribbon and the doily.

 

 

I N S T R U C T I O N S

Make card base and round corners.

Cut patterned paper and adhere.

Die cut doily and snowflake, layer and adhere.

Tie loop of floss and bow from ribbon; adhere both.

Color gem with Copic BG57and adhere in snowflake center.

 

Tip

If your colored gem isn't exactly the right shade, make it so it with a Copic or Sharpie marker. If you decide you don't like it, just remove the ink with alcohol.
