Christmas with Through the Purple Haze Challenges

It's the final challenge of the year at Through the Purple Haze Challenges and fittingly the theme is Christmas. We had some topper and background sheets from Aspire Crafts to work with. This is what I created. 

Using Road to Bethlehem Toppers & Gold Foiled Background

A Gatefold Card
Two of the toppers and a section of the foiled background

 A Card 

made with the gold foiled background, one of the toppers, a section of red ribbon and a sentiment embossed with Wow Rich Gold Embossing powder.

It's so difficult to capture the shine of the foiling in photos.

Gift Tag

Simply punched a hole in a topper & threaded with ribbon

Two Christmas Tree Decorations

Made by punching a hole in toppers with my Big Bite and then dipping them in UTEE

It's not a completely clean finish, but they're nice and firm for decorations.

Using Winter Reindeer Toppers & Background

Card with Velum

I covered the backing paper with two sheets of velum to make the pattern more subtle to balance to card. Brads, a rectangle of DCWV Metallic Blue cardstock (I didn't have the right ribbon but this worked perfectly)

Card with homemade background

The background is blue cardstock that I doodles silver snowflakes on.

Toppers mounted on foam pads.

Side fold card

Card base made from black card. I trimmed the left hand topper so there was only one moon on the card (two would have just been confusing). Sentiment embossed with Wow Silver Metallic embossing powder. 

I hope to see you over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges.
