Continuing on the Christmas theme...I really need to get my Christmas cards done, I send so many each year and can't believe that Christmas is now only weeks off. I have created this card using the following:
- White card blank 14.5cm x 14.5 cm
- Red, green and pink card to matt and layer image
- Dovecraft Christmas Fancy papers
- Images stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink
- Personal Impressions Christmas Bears, by Lindsay Mason
- Great Impressions G350 stamp
- Coloured with promarkers in: Pine, Warm Grey 2, Powder blue, Apple, Cocktail Pink, Tulip yellow, Sandstone and Henna.
- Embellishments: Dovecraft Fancy Snow self adhesive ribbons, Woodware Fluffy Stuff, Flower soft -Polar white, Glossy accents, Cristal Glamour dust, Card designer -Laser cut snowflakes and punched snowflake using x-cut snowflake punch, Papermania shimmer dots.
I constructed the easel card and used the backing papers as a background. I stamped the Teddy Bear stamp then masked it to stamp over the village scene. Next I matted and layered the stamped and coloured images onto pink then red and green card. I used ribbon wrapped around the matted and layered base and attached to the card. I also attached a piece of ribbon as show to the base and stamped a sentiment onto a rectangle of white card and attached this with sticky fixers to give some dimension and also so that the card will stand up as shown in the picture. I used glossy accents on to the sledge to give it some shine and paper pieced the bears hat and scarf with co-ordinating paper. I gave the impression of fur on his hat by using flower soft. I used fluffy stuff on the house roofs and the trees to look like snow, I glittered the laser cut snowflakes with glamour dust and punched a silver snowflake out of paper with my punch. All of the snowflakes have been embellished with shimmer dots. The whole card is quite glittery although it may be difficult to see in the picture! I love the colours of this card although I wasn't sure at first as they are not the usual Christmas colours. I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
