Sally CT - Another Christmas card

Hi There! I am here with another step by step for this cute Christmas card. Here is how I made it.

I began by blending 3 colours of distress oxide ink across a 4" square of watercolour card. 

Next I sprayed Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz through the Circles 1 big ones inkable. 

When this was dry I stamped over the background using Distress oxide ink. 

On a scrap of card, I stamped the gingerbread man 3 times and coloured with a combination of oxide ink and coloured pencils, before cutting them out. 

I matted and layered the background to a 5x5" card and added the gingerbread men using foam pads.  

Finally I added the sentiment using Versafine Clair ink.

Here is the finished card again....

and you can see the sheen from the distress spritz here.

I used:

Distress Oxide inks in Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Lumberjack Plaid and Tea Dye

Big ones Inkable - Circles 1

Distress Spritz - Fossilized Amber

Doodle Art Christmas Pud stamp set

Alison CT - Faces Tags

Hi everyone today I'm sharing two tags made in the same way but using different images and colours.

To begin blend picked raspberry distress oxide through the centre of the butterfly side of the butterfly away 6" inkable, then blend spunsugar distress oxide over the wings of the butterflies.

Cut three rectangles of white card that are3 x 2.5 inches. Round the corners with a punch. Using versafine clair nocturne ink stamp the small face from the Whatever Works stamp set.

Use a sponge applicator, blend picked raspberry distress oxide around the edge of the tag and the three faces rectangles.

Using the asemic writing stamp, from the Whatever Works stamp set, add more layers to the background using first and second generation stamping using spun sugar distress oxide.  Reapeat using picked raspberry distress oxide. 

Use foam pads to glue the three faces diagonally down the tag.

Add the You are a Star sentiment, from the Mixed Messages 2 stamp set, using versafine clair nocturne. 

For the male version repeat the above steps but use salty ocean and tumbled glass distress oxides and the dragonfly part of the Butterfly Away inkable. The rectangles of card need to be 3 x 1.5 inches to fit the small face from the See Me stamp set.
