Hi
Friends!
Today
I am sharing another a quick Mixed Media Christmas card using previously
released sets, Snowy
Hello and Texture Tiles 3 from Sweet ‘n Sassy
Stamps.
I incorporated the Atlantic Hearts #292 Sketch Challenge for the layout and am also linking
this card to the Dies R Us #120 Snowflakes Challenge and A Gem of A Challenge #232
“Anything Goes”.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage
you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the snowman/ bunny image
along with the sentiment from Snowy
Hello with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing
powder and heat set with a heat tool.
2). Watercolor the snowman/bunny image with water-based markers (see below for colors) and die-cut
the panel with a stitched rectangle die.
Stamp a few of the snowflakes around the scene using ink from the markers and hand-draw a snow line with a black pen. Mount the panel onto a piece of blue-green cardstock, trim close to the die cut edge.
Hand trim the sentiment Hand trim the sentiment, mount onto a piece of
blue-green cardstock and trim close to the edge as well.
3). Die cut a piece of white cardstock for the
card front with a stitched rectangle die, mount onto a piece of Bermuda Bay
cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of red-orange cardstock.
4).
Die cut a piece of retired designer paper with a stitched strip die
and mount onto another piece of blue-green cardstock (die cut with a bot
larger horizontal strip stitched die).. FYI- I cut these two in half to extend
the width of the dies – the split is behind the focal image and a great way to
get more from your dies! Mount the
strips onto the background panel, add the thin stitched satin ribbon
(wrapping the ends behind the panel) and mount onto a white card base.
5).
Create the little banners at the top- stamp onto a scrap piece of white
cardstock the texture image from Texture Tiles 3 using ink from the blue-green marker, stamp a few snowflakes using the red-orange marker, hand trim into
the banner stamp and mount onto blue-green cardstock. Create the second banner using designer paper mounted onto blue-green cardstock.
6).
Mount the focal image onto the card front with dimensional foam and add the
sentiment at the bottom. Adhere the two
banners in the upper left (per the sketch) along with the triple ribbon bow.
7).
To finish off the card, add the button to the center of the bow and add a bit
of shimmer to the snowflakes, snow and snowman (difficult to see in the photo) with
a clear glitter pen.
