For my first card I have used the Christmas tree image, which I stamped and heat embossed onto black card. I coloured the tree with glitter gel pens and blended Hero Arts unicorn white ink around the edges. I stamped the sentiment using tulip red versafine clair ink.
For my next card I stamped the tree image using black ink and coloured it with metalic pencil crayons. For the background I inked the script background with patches of twisted citron, tumbled glass, barn door and mustard seed distress oxide then stamped it centally on a piece of card that was 4.5 x 6.5 inches. I stamped the dotty freehand border with versafine claire morning mist and the sentiment with versafine clair nocturne.
My next samples use the smalker stamps from the Christmas tree set.
My third sample was made using a stamp platform, as you need to be able to stamp exactly in the same place twice.
First I inked different areas of the stamps with seedless preserve, tumbled glass, mustard seed, barn door and twisted citron distress oxide. I then lightly spritzed the card and stamp with water. I then stamped the image. I left this to fully dry, before stamping over the colours with morning mist versafine claire. I added a sentiment with the same ink. I blended twisted citron ink around the tree and also through the small dots dinkable from set 3.
The last sample using the tree is a journal page created using media paper off cuts, inkable tags set 2 and 5, the freehand borders stamp set and the asemic splats stamp set.
For this card I stamped the baubles twice, one full length and the other shorter, in the top right hand corner of a piece of card that is 3.5 x 5.5 inches in size. I added the sentiment and coloured the bauble image with glitter gel pens. I mounted the topper on black card then onto a 4 x 6 inch card blank.
Fir my next sample I used the cute little Christmas pudding image, which I stamped in two rows. I coloured the image with glitter gel pens. The sentiment was stamoed using versafine clair pinecone ink. I added the birder from the freehand border set and coliured with a red glaze pen.
My final three samples use the three small snowflakes.
For the first one I drew through the 6" circle easy frame with a pencil and then freehand stamped the snowflakes using versafine clair twilight, warm breeze and blue belle ink. I then blended tumbled glass distress oxide over the snowflakes. I added the sentiment (from the discontinued Yuletide Doidle Art Snowflakes stamp set) and added sequins.
For the next card, I did the same as above, but used the 6" heart easy frame and kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and seedless preserve distress ink to stamp the snowflakes. I added the baubles image which I stamped with picked raspberry distress ink and coloured with glitter gel pens. I stamped the sentiment with picked raspberry and inked the edges of the topper with the same ink, before gluing it to a 7 inch card blank.
For my final sample I edged a piece of watercolour card, which measures 6.5 x 4.5 inches, with a silver posca pen, then stuck this to a 5 x 7 inch card blank. Then I dropped some blue ecoline watercolour ink diagonally onto the card. I spritzed this with water and left it to dry naturally. Next I used the sniwflake dinkable from set 4, with uncgarted mariner distrsss ink to add a layer of snowflakes over the blue ink. Finally I randomly stamped snowflakes using an embossing knk and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I stamoed the sentiment using versafine clair twilight ink.
