Merry Christmas!

 


Happy Wednesday, friends!  I have a card to share today using the new inspiration from The Card Concept Challenge!


The challenge is Rustic Holiday!

Hope you can join us and play along!

I was inspired by the rustic theme, colors, and textures.  I created a Shabby  Chic/Vintage styled card.


I started with white card stock. I  am using SSS Snowflake Season stamp set and Snowflake Season Die set.  I stamped the largest  snowflake using versamark ink and heat embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder.  I die cut the image and ink blended using Ranger antique linen, brushed corduroy, and gathered twigs distress inks.  



Next, I worked on the layered background panels.  I used a diagonal stripe stencil  and ink blended candy apple ink. I added foam tape to the back and added the panel to a top folding white card stock base.  I ink blended the edges with brushed corduroy and gathered twigs distress ink. 


 For the next layer, I used white card stock and die cut using the deckled frame from Altenew Mix and Match frames die set.  I stamped the frame using Hand Lettered Holiday background stamp using brushed corduroy distress ink. I ink distressed the edges with the same three distress inks.  I used Stampin Up Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to add the speckled texture around the edges using both brushed corduroy and gathered twigs distress inks.  


For the sentiment, I used SSS Joyful Season stamp set. I stamped the "Merry Christmas" using versamark ink and red embossed.  I die cut the sentiment using Paper Rose Sentiment Strips dies.  I ink blended with brushed corduroy distress ink and a bit of gathered twigs distress ink.  I cut the sentiment strip to create two words and added it to the snowflake using some foam tape.  I chose not to add any embellishments. 

I am also playing along with SSS Wednesday Challenge and Make the Cards Challenge. 




Here is a list of many of the products I generally
use every time I make a card.

  
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
