The Jingle Belles have a challenge to use metallics and/or glitter. Since many of the cards that I make go to deployed military as encouragement or for them to send home, glitter is forbidden. Glitter shows up on night vision, so I don't even allow it in my house!! Metallics it is!
Here i my first try:
Silver washi tape layered on silver mat, silver and white joy die cut. OK, but I thought I would try again.
I buy a lot of my metallics from Hollo Paper in Brunswick, OH, in 4x6. Those dimensions leave a lot of strips left over. I used matte silver and textured gold strips to make my background, and layered it on red and gold metallic mats. LOVE!!! Lawn Fawn joy die cut.

Oh wow! What a fab and festive card! The gold and silver versions are both just so wonderful! Washi tape was a brilliant choice! So pleased you could get sparkly with us at JINGLE BELLES!
