I had made a cross stitch Christmas card for my mum, but as she has recently told me she doesn't like cross stitch cards I thought I'd better make another card for her!
I attached a piece of gold mirri card to the front of the card blank, leaving a small border around the edge. I then cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the mirri and placed it into my MISTI. I lay the tree stamp, 'Merry Christmas' and 'Mum' stamps onto the card and stamped them several times with dark green ink to get a good depth of colour. I then embossed the tree and sentiment with clear embossing powder. I used a gold gel pen to colour the decorations on the tree before attaching the panel to the gold mirri.
To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Woodware 'Delightful Dangles - Christmas Tree', Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' and Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
Versafine Olympia Green ink
Gold gel pen
Gold mirri and white matt card
