Merry Christmas and Welcome
Meet today's card.
A simple one featuring a cute little die and this leftover piece of blue inked paper that I used for the sky.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock that would become the base panel of my card front. I found this piece of inked blue paper in my stash that would become the sky for my little winter scene. I think???? I used Distress Oxides to ink it up but it's been sitting in my pile for so long I'm not sure. (I need to get better at writing on the back of my leftover pieces what I actually did). I glued that onto the white cardstock.
- Next, I die cut the Houses on the Hill die from Your Next Stamp and glued that over the blue sky.
- To give the look of snow, I tore some more white cardstock and layered it over to look like little snowbanks.
- Using my white Posca pen, I added the white snow.
- I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black with some Versafine Clair ink and clear heat embossed it. I added 3 black gems under the sentiment.
- For the background blue panel, I took a piece of blue cardstock and scored some lines using my ScorPal. It really made a difference and added a lot of interest.
- I rounded the corners with my Corner Rounder and then pop dot mounted it over the scored background.
- Lastly, I glued it all onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
