Good Morning and Welcome
I hope you holiday preparations are going well.
Today's card was a fun card to create. I played around with stencils and stamps and layering them.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink and 2 stencils.
- I positioned the Tim Holtz stencil called Countdown over my card panel and rubbed a bit of the ink over that as I wanted it to be faintly visible in the background.
- I removed that stencil and laid on the Circus Harlequin from A Colorful Life Designs over that and stenciled a bit heavier with the same ink.
- I removed the stencil and placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the Deer from Lavinia Stamps with some Verafine Clair ink.
- Next, I stamped the tree with more Versafine Clair, then did a second and third generation stamping behind the first tree. I splattered with my white Posca pen.
- I stamped the sentiment from the Taylored Expressions in the top corner and added some black gems under that.
- I die cut a square frame and then pop dot mounted it over the card panel.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
