Digi Choosday - Wednesdays - Christmas with metallic matts and layers with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday I hope that your having a good week so far, I cant believe  we are almost at the middle of November  I hope that  if you make your own Christmas cards like me you are cracking on with it as the month is disappearing fast and you need to remember to get them posted too!

It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create a Christmas card with metallic mats and layers.

I have to admit that I don't tend to use much metallic card stock these days - its used to be very trendy years ago but I tend to use it only as accents and for frames now and mostly for Christmas cards, but i think it fits the bill.

I chose to use another cutie from the new Gingerbread Cookie collection.  This card has been made using one of the cute digital stamps, 2 papers , a sentiment and the pre-coloured mittens and earmuffs from the Snow Day Bundle,

I used gold mirri card to create an arched frame, adding vellum behind this and layered the sentiment onto a piece of gold mirri card too.

I used a white Posca pen to add snow to the vellum panel and to add a little sparkle some iridescent sequins have been adhered around the design, along with glossy accents on the gingerbread girls icing.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
