Under the Mistletoe














Morning. 
As Christmas is so quickly approaching, it is great to have a simple, fun design on hand to create a few of those last minute cards. So meet today's card which is just that.

I began by masking off the area on my card front with Painter's tape then sponged Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss in the masked area being sure to concentrate more colour at the bottom of the taped area.  

I stamped the mistletoe from Eureka stamps, coloured with Copic markers then added some Nuvo drops to the berries to make them shine.  
I die-cut the sentiment from Stamplorations twice, glued it together for stability and added it to the dark shaded area so it would pop.
Easy right?



Adding my card to these challenges:

STAMPlorations Cutplorations-  HAPPY CHRISTMAS





CAS Mix Up- STAMPING/ SPONGING and DIE CUT


Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps- Eureka/ die- STAMPlorations/ ink- Distress, Memento/ Cuttlebug/ inking tool/ Copic markers/ Nuvo drops

    Great way to showcase a die-cut sentiment - love the way the sponging is masked off and fades out.

    Simple and awesome! I love how the green fades in to be the darkest under that great dimensional greeting. And that mistletoe with its shiny berries is no slouch either.
