I created this card using the CCMC167 colors at Create with Connie and Mary along with the FMS2 sketch at a new challenge site, Freshly Made Sketches.
The Design Teams at both sites have done a marvelous job, check them out
when you get a chance!
The Freshly Made Sketch Challenge is similar
to a Clean and Simple card- clean lines but you can elaborate on the
embellishments. I did not elaborate too
much, since this card will need to be reproduced in multiples for mailing at
Christmas…
To create this card:
Using the Stampin’ Write markers in Old
Olive, Cajun Craze and Basic Gray, color the dove stamp from Gifts of Christmas
(omitting the greeting) and the poinsettia single stamp. Stamp both onto Whisper White, trim the dove
image to size and punch the poinsettia out with the 1 ¼” Circle Punch.
Layer the images onto Basic Gray and Cajun Craze.
Layer the images onto Basic Gray and Cajun Craze.
Color the sentiment with the Cajun Craze
marker, stamp onto Whisper White, trim and layer in the same manner as above.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Petals-A-Plenty Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder and emboss a piece of Old Olive Designer Series
Paper.
Layer as designed on the sketch and add the
pearls to finish off the card.
Stamp Sets: Gifts of Christmas, Christmas
Greetings
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Cajun Craze, Whisper
White, Old Olive DSP (retired)
Ink: None- Stampin’ Write markers- Basic
Gray, Cajun Craze, Old Olive
Accessories: Big Shot™ , Petals-A-Plenty
