Hello friends! I have a card to share today playing along with a few challenges.
I created my first Christmas card of the season. I went with some nontraditional Christmas colors. I am using Simon Says Stamps Winter Floral Layering Stencils and Joyful Season stamp set for the sentiment. I started with white card stock. For the flowers I ink blended slumber ink with a touch of sapphire ink in the centers. For the pine needles, I used sapphire ink. For the leaves, I used meadow ink and emerald city inks. I trimmed the panel down and used foam tape to add to a top folding white card stock base.
To add some depth and dimension to the stencil image, I colored with C1 Copic Marker to add shadow around the leaves and flowers. I really love this look as it makes the image pop more and give the illusion of dimension.
For the sentiment, I used Joyful Season stamp set. I stamped with versamark ink onto white card stock and white embossed. I ink blended more of the meadow ink and emerald city inks around the sentiment. I die cut the panel with Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle Infinity dies. I used foam tape to add dimension to the sentiment. I finished the card with a few clear sequins.
I am playing along with Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, The Daily MarkerColor Challenge (Day 6: Fake a Shadow), and Christmas Kickstart 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!
Gorgeous blue/green combo - I totally see how you pulled it from the inspiration photo's Christmas tree, Betty!!
ReplyDeleteI do love your colours and how you have added dimension by outlining the flowers to give a shadow effect, it really works, I must remember to try it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Christmas Kickstarter this month xx
