This card is for today's Feature Stamper Challenge(FS140)! Way to go, Chris..aka Glowbug. She got that username right as she is a beacon of light and so fabulous!!!
Since Chris and I both design for ODBD, I decided to choose one of her many gorgeous ODBD cards to case. I found a Christmas one. Here is the link.
- I kept the theme, changed the stamp set. I am using ODBD Joy to the World.
- I used similar patterns of dp, but changed the color.
- I kept the basic layout, but added a band of ribbon behind the middle panel instead of doing the criss cross ribbon look Chris used.
- I used a die cut center shape, but changed the shape.
- I used a sewing machine, but not for sewing...just the holes for faux stitching.
- I used some textured dry embossing instead of gold embossing my image.
- Chris used a sparkle snowflake chipboard piece behind her image and some hardware. I used a big fu fu bow with a cross charm.
I am using basicgray wassail dp. This is one of the most gorgeous packs of dp. I love every sheet!!! I sponged my layers using Ranger inks in antique linen and vintage photo. I colored my image with copic markers, and the sheer ribbon can be found at ODBD, too.
