Welcome to another Christmas card that is super simple and quick.
This month, at One-Layer Simplicity, our theme is
HOME, SWEET HOME
I love this stamp from Serendipity. I have had it for years and it makes a great card especially for Christmas. I began by embossing the oval on my card front using a Spellbinder oval die. I placed the die onto my cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug using a rubber mat under the die. By using the mat, it prevents the die from cutting through the paper and leaves an embossed design instead.
I cut a mask using the same oval die to use as a mask, positioned it over my embossed area then stamped the home image with black Memento ink. I coloured the image with my watercolour pencils.
I scored the two lines on the bottom for interest then stamped the sentiment from PTI.
Adding my card to these challenges:
CAS on Sunday- RIBBON or TWINE
Addicted to Stamps- MAKE YOUR MARK
Time Out Challenge- EMBOSSING
The Crafter's Cafe- ANYTHING GOES
