Cheri here and we're winding down to the end of the 30 Days of Christmas event.
There's still one more day to get that 25% off all the awesome Christmas stamps that Technique Junkies has in their store, grab them while you can and enjoy the discount!
It's been 30 days full of inspiration and creativity by the TJDT and I've enjoyed each and every one.
For my last post during this event, I have some bookmarks to show you and a card.
This is a front and back shot of the bookmarks. I used some coordinating scrap pieces of design paper to cover the backs. The stamps I used for the bookmarks is SS029 "Christmas Words" set of 4 stamps. The technique to create them is the easy white embossed image and sponging Distress Inks over the image to create a resist. Adding some water splatters to the sponged ink gave them a "vintage" look. I like these as card inserts for Christmas cards to special friends.
The face on this puppy just cracks me up. Another easy card. The background was splattered with white acrylic paint and once dry, I sprayed with some glimmer spray. I stamped "Ho, Ho, Ho Dog" on 80# white cardstock with Archival black ink using my Misti. In order to get a good coverage, I stamped it 3 times...I wanted him to pop right off the cs. I made a mask and covered him while I sponged a bg with Distress Ink. I again splattered some water and soaked it up with paper towels then heat dried it. I decided to add some "snow" to match the red bg, so I took my white pen and dotted it in the bg. I used Copics to color his scarf and paper pieced his hat with some red glittery paper. To frame him, I used MFT stitched arch Stax. As a final touch, I added some sequins to the bg and some glossy accents to his nose and eyes.
There you have it!!!! I hope I've inspired you and I hope you don't miss grabbing youself some of these fabulous stamps.
Cheers!
