Merry Wishes



Hello and Welcome
I wanted to create a card with a stamped background that would be my sentiment for the card.

I began by placing a piece of white cardstock inside my Misti, inked the 'Merry Christmas' with some grey ink and repeatedly stamped it by moving it around in my Misti.  It is so easy to create this kind of background using this great tool.
Next, I stamped the reindeer that is from a set by Recollections that I recently picked up on sale at Michaels with some Versamark ink and silver heat embossed it.  I then die-cut it out.
I had some leftover pieces of Yupo paper that I had inked with some Alcohol inks, so I cut out a circle and then glued the reindeer onto that to give my card a pop of colour.
I pop-dot mounted the circle over the sentiment background and then glued that over a piece of blue cardstock to help tie in with the blue of the circle and then onto a white card base.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

  1. What a great idea to use a large sentiment stamped randomly all over making a wonderful background for your glitsy reindeer, and that piece of Yupo with those gorgeous mix of alcohol ink makes the perfect background. x
