I made this card using one of my 'old favourites' - a Woodware stamp my OH bought for my birthday in 2014! The card uses the colours from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.

To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white hammer card blank
Woodware 'Bubble Bloom - Festive Tree' stamp
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Promarkers
Glossy Accents
Snippet of white hammer card
I trimmed a snippet of white hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and placed it into my MISTI. I used brown ink to stamp the tree and sentiment before embossing them with clear embossing powder. I used red, gold and turquoise Promarkers to colour the baubles on the tree before attaching the panel to the front of the card. To finish I added Glossy Accents to the baubles to make them shine.
I am entering the following challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - A for Anything Goes
As You Like It - Digi or Physical Stamps (my favourite is physical stamps - partly because my printer isn't very good at printing digis but mainly because I love to use my MISTI and inks to stamp and emboss images, like on this card)
CAS Colours & Sketches - Colour Challenge (Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry & Tahitian Tide)
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Out on a Limb
Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
Krafty Chicks - Christmas

ReplyDeleteI am sure blogger is eating my comments. Felt sure I had left one here. It's a fab idea to cover the coloured baubles with glossy accents. I have several of these baubles stamps by Woodware. I have the lovely Butterfly one. Hugs Mrs a.
