Just putting it out there, I don't like my card! What I had in my mind sure did not show up on paper. Hate it when that happens, but at least I stamped ... lol. Lindsey and I went for a sketch this week, and we had 2 choices.
So, I did up another sketch flip and we each chose one to do. I am doing the tall version. You will have to check out Lindsey's work of art to see the wider card.
I used night of navy, brushed silver and white, embossing both the image and the sentiment. I used varying sizes of rhinestones along the flag pendant to draw the eye. I may just have to make another one, so that I am happy with it, ARGH !! Play along if you wish, and upload it with the keyword SFR45 to Splitcoast.
I think the card is beautiful because it shows the real Christmas idea. I think you would like it better if you made the flag pennant narrower, keep it the same length, but trim the top and bottom so the rhinestones don't look like they are swimming. Maybe? I made the card but used a 1/2" x 5" pennant with just 3 stones at the blunt end. Pleased me.

Hi Julie!
I know what you mean when you say what you had it mind did not transfer to paper, but I think your card is beautiful! The only thing I would maybe change, would be to flip the flag pennant, so the flat end is flush with the right side of the card. That way it would show the open end leading the same direction the wise men are traveling...to the newborn King!
Crafty Blessings!
