Christmas Card 2023-Mar-11

 Happy Saturday everyone!

I finally sat down and made my first Christmas card of the year.  

I want to thank my craft friend Linda W. for introducing the cute Lawn Fawn set to me.  I simply stamped, colored with alcohol markers, die cut, and adhered on card base which was layered with patterned paper and double stitched die stamped with sentiment.

Hello,

Slowly but surely I am adding to my Christmas card stash.  The special thing about today's card is that I did some stamping with alcohol ink.  Yes, I inked up my rubber stamp and stamped the background of my card.

I started by placing some drops of alcohol ink onto the applicator felt and inked my rubber stamp then stamped on a Yupo paper panel.  After I stamped on the Yupo panel I tapped the Alcohol Lift-ink pad on my tap and stamped off in my art journal.

This panel is 8.5 by 5.5 inches.  I cut it into two panels.  On one of them I splattered some Cranberry  alcohol ink and glimmer gold ink.

Next step I stamped the sentiment, then added a couple die cut pine branches, and a couple of watercolored Cardinal birds.  And I stamped a matching envelope too.  :)

Hello,

The weather here is cold, sunny and sparkly, perfect inspiration for Christmas cards!  I gave my Hero Arts Dazzling Snowflake stamp some inky love and made two cards. 

I heat embossed it with Gold Glitter Embossing Powder first on kraft card stock, and I thought the Gold Glittered didn't show well, so I did another on just white card stock.  What do you think? 

I didn't want the sentiment to compete with the snowflake but want to keep the same color scheme, so I just heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.

Here's a close up of the glittery goodness.
