Hi Friends!
I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so
far! I am still making Christmas cards and wanted to create a card for the
November 2017 STAMPlorations™ Theme and Sketch Challenge.
This Clean and Simple (CAS) Mixed Media card was designed with a new to me stamp set, STAMPlorations™
Yuletide Deer. I love the images in this set and decided to use the deer with the patterns:-)
I also am linking to the INKSPIRE_Me #326 Color Challenge and The Merry Christmas #44 “Anything Goes + Christmas” Challenge and the Stamplorations Never Ending "Anything Goes" Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to check out the
challenge sites yet, I hope you will take the time to do so- gorgeous
inspiration from the Design Teams as well as their galleries!
To create this card:
1). Using a craft mat, apply a bit of hickory smoke and festive
berries distress ink, spritz lightly with water and press a piece of white
cardstock into the ink to create a splatter effect. Dry the panel with a heat tool and die cut
with a rectangular cross-stitch die.
2). De-static the die cut panel with an embossing powder tool, ink
the Yuletide Deer image with archival ink (I used Versafine™ Onyx Black), apply
silver embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Once the embossing has cooled, color the image
with a red and slate marker and add a bit of shimmer with a clear glitter pen.
3). Mount the entire panel onto a piece of slate cardstock, trim
close to the edge and mount onto a piece of red cardstock. Adhere the entire card front to a white card
base.
4). Stamp the sentiment with archival black ink onto a piece of
slate cardstock, create the fishtail banner and mount onto the card front with
dimensional foam.
5). Add a few red and silver drops along with the rhinestones on
the sentiment to finish off the card.
