Hi
Friends!!
Today
I am sharing a Clean and Simple (CAS) Christmas card using the scrap leftover piece
of a tissue paper technique background I had created for another CAS card (see previous post here).
Since I already had the background panel, I searched through my stash of "scraps" and found the snowflakes plus the sentiment already die cut/printed and ready to go making this card fairly quick and easy to assemble :-)
I love participating in online challenges so I am linking this card to the CAS-ual Fridays #198 “Christmas in July”Challenge along with the More Mixed Media July “Anything Goes” Challenge and the Happy Little Stampers July Christmas "opt twist Die Cuts" Challenge.
If
you have not already had a chance to visit the above challenge sites, I hope
you will do so- so much inspiration from their Design Teams as well as in their
galleries!
1). Using
Tranquil Tide and Soft Sky Classic Ink, tap the pads onto a silicone craft mat,
spritz with water, use a plastic spoon (or palette knife) to mix the ink a bit
and lay a piece of tissue paper into the ink (smooshing very gently with your
fingers to moisten all of the tissue).
Carefully lift up the tissue paper and set onto a paper towel to
dry. My first layer was a bit light so I
added additional ink until I was satisfied with the color.
2). Using
a craft glue, spread the glue over an entire piece of white cardstock,
squishing the tissue a bit to create more ridges and allow the panel to dry (I
did use a heat tool to speed up the process- I am so impatient!). De-static the panel with an Embossing Buddy®,
gently rub the Versamark™ ink pad over the ridges, apply Silver Embossing
Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
3). Use
the Big Shot™ with the MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX Dies to cut the panel, mount
onto Basic Black cardstock and trim close to the die cut edge.
4). Print
the sentiment from Merry & Type using My Digital Studio™ (retired Stampin’
Up!) onto Whisper White cardstock, die cut with the Big Shot™ with a smaller
frame die from the MFT Rectangle STAX , mount onto black cardstock and trim
close to the edge. Adhere the sentiment panel to the tissue paper background
panel.
5). Die
cut the various snowflakes from Silver Foil, mount a few behind the tissue
paper background and sentiment. Trim
another Whisper White panel and mount onto the Basic Black card base. Add the layered snowflake background panel to
the car front with dimensional foam.
6). Finish
off the card by adding the large snowflake, rhinestones and a few accents with Nuvo™ Silver Lining Crystal Drops.

A fabulous card..loving those snow flakes..
Thank you for joining in with our challenge this month at More Mixed Media.
Stunning result from the tissue paper technique - going to give that a try! Love how you've placed another snowfalke under the sentiment, sort of like a reflection of the one above. Thanks for joining in with the HLS Christmas Challenge.
Stunning! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge :)
