Christmas Foliage

 

 

Hello! Deborah here with you today. I know that it’s almost the end of March and that spring has officially sprung! But I’m here with a Christmas card – it’s never too early to make a start on your stash. I’ve only got one card today – surprise! I’ve used stamps from Colorado Craft Company. I do love their Big & Bold series of stamps.

 

 

This is a reasonably big card – 4½” x 6¼”. I started by stamping the background with the big snowflake from Colorado Craft Company’s Big & Bold Winter Wishes Snowflake. I stamped it in a soft shimmery silver ink, once towards the top of the card and again just off to the left. Next, I stamped the holly leaves and berries, and the poinsettia flower from Big & Bold Frosty’s Hat. I coloured the images with Copic markers, replaced them in my stamp positioner, stamped with black Versafine ink and heat embossed with clear powder. I then carefully fussy cut out all the images. I edged the images with a black marker, adhered them to the card and then added a greeting from Big & Bold Winter Wishes Snowflake.

 

 

Inside, I cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the base. I stamped the snowflake in silver in the centre of the panel and added a fun sentiment from Big & Bold Frosty’s Hat. I edged the panel with a soft blue marker and glued it into the card.

 

I used the sketch from the current Christmas 24 Challenge for the layout of this card.

 

Well, that was short and sweet. Hope you all have a good week and I’ll see you next Wednesday.

Deborah, x
