My card for today....
Technique Junkies Season's Greetings Set of 6 (new)
Technique Junkies Vintage Merry Christmas (new)
Technique Junkies Joyeux Noel (previous)
I
stamped the fir branches from the Season's Greetings set onto a cream
A2 card front. I used my Misti, and inked it with various greens from
the Tim Holtz distress mini ink pads. I repeated this until I got the
look I wanted. I also stamped off on scrap paper for some of the branches, then onto the card, so they appear to be in the background. I used a Clarity stencil brush to brush on some green to soften the card.
For the gold on the branches, I used my Dove blending tool to add lines here and there, then embossed them with gold. I also embossed the verse with gold embossing powder.
For the ornaments, I stamped and embossed the ornaments from the Vintage Merry Christmas stamp onto watercolor paper. I painted them with Shimmering Bliss sprays.
I just removed the top, and used the applicator to put some drops of
ink onto a palette, then painted the ornaments. The SB adds shimmer and
shine to the ornaments, which is so pretty in real life!I fussy-cut the ornaments, and added them to the card with foam tape for dimension. Then I used a gold gel pen to draw the gold threads to hang them from the branches.
I used my gold leafing pen to draw a gold narrow stripe down the right side of the card, and added some gems.
That's it. Easy-peasy.
