Hello!
I don't know about you, but even with the bulk of my Christmas cards sent, I often find myself making "just one more card" right up until Christmas. There's always a stamp set I can't pass up, or want to reuse. And, if I don't need the card to send, it gets me a little ahead for the next year. Today, I'm sharing a card, that came about because I really wanted to color the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp again.
I began by stamping the image twice on a piece of white card stock, using a light ink for no-line coloring. I colored in the image using my Polychromos pencils. Once I finished coloring, I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out. I set the images aside while working on the other elements.
I took a card front sized piece of white card stock, and used The Flower of Life Stencil, and a Life Changing Blender Brush, to blend some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink down from the top of the panel. I faded the ink out about half way down the card. I set this panel aside, along with the colored images.
Next, I stamped and gold heat embossed the sentiment - from the Joyeux Noel Stamp Set - onto vellum, before fussy cutting it out. I then die cut the largest circle die from the Scallop Framed Dies from more white card stock.
I layered all of the elements together, and adhered the card front to a white card base. To finish off the card, I added a few gems from the Sands of Time Gem Mix.
Thanks for stopping by!
