 Countdown to Christmas 4

By CT Ann 

I love using red, turquoise & silver on Christmas cards. This week I’ve used a stamp set that you would necessarily think of using for a festive card. 

Inkable Snowflakes Multi

Art Stamps: Art Backgrounds 2 & Wreath

Distress Oxide Lumberjack Plaid & Broken China

Versafine Clair Morning Mist & Nocturne 

Pop Outs Stars

 Silver Embossing  Powder

Vellum, sequins, silver card, 5x7 card blank card 4.5” x 6.5”

Ink through the Snowflake Multi stencil with Broken China, on to a piece of card a little smaller than the card blank… 

I wanted to diffuse the background so stuck double sided tape to the back of the snowflake card, cut a piece of vellum slightly bigger & covered the front completely…

(it’s difficult to see on the photo, sorry). 

On a separate piece of card ( 2” x 41/4”) cover with the Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide.. then stamp the zig zag across it in nocturne (black) ink… 

Cut two more pieces of paper (2” x 41/4”) & stamp the scribble stamp using the Lumberjack Plaid ink… 

Cut three triangles from the inked & stamped pieces… 

Using the off cuts from the red triangle add them to the outer edge of the other triangles… 

From the ‘waste’ cut 3 oblongs to create tree trunks…

Glue the two scribble trees to the vellum the the red tree in between using some foam tape… 

Stamp & heat emboss in silver ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Wreath stamp set, then cut around it… 

Use a small Popout star, cover in Versamark ink & heat emboss in silver…. 

Glue the star to the top of the centre tree & the sentiment, add some sequins to the trees… 

Matt on to some silver card/paper & onto a card blank.. 

Thank you for stopping by… Ann xxx
