Hello Friends, Anything new since yesterday? Did you notice the bait and switch during the Video Hop? First one to guess what it is will win a goodie bag from me. (hint if you are here that’s a clue)
Today is a new day and I am excited and honored to able to participate in A Blog Named Hero‘s “Dear Santa” extravaganza all month. If you are stuck on inspiration for your holiday cards or just stumped in general … well…. just be prepared to be blown away with the creativity you see on their blog. |
For some reason I thought I was supposed to create a card set. That’s me to mess things up but, someone will be getting a card set soon. The tin that I repurposed for my card set was from this card kit from Simon Says Stamp. This deer stamp from Hero Arts card was the perfect subject for a holiday card. After stamping the deer in a light color I stamped this background on top of the light deer with a darker Luxe ink. I fell in love with the “Floral Bouquet” background stamp so I had to color it with some Copic markers. The bouquet between the deers antlers was cut from the background. The layering papers are a nice and heavy card stock from Bazzill. The deer card below was modified into a one layer card to fit into the tin. |
The front of the tin was covered with white card stock that I stamped and colored slightly different from the colors on the cards in the set. |
It’s easier to compare both cards in this photo. |
Mask off your card stock with masking tape to create a “one” layer card. |
Use the chisel end of your marker to create the look of an additional piece of card stock.
Stamp the deer on a strip of card stock and color with a glitter pen, add a bow and glue between the green lines (be sure to let some of the green show) . Questions? Please send me an email.
