Hi as you can see I’m full on Christmas card making now and my step by step this week is a bauble card , featuring this cute gingerbread man .
First ,to create my background I cut a mat for my 7x7in card blank . Using Mowed Lawn and Lucy Clover distress inks and this leaf D’inkable from set 14 . I edged my mat layer with ink and a leaf was added.
A little difficult to see in this photo, I then used a white gel pen on each leaf adding a boarder and some dotting .
To create my bauble I cut out a circle of watercolour card,for this you could also use a circular D’inkable .
Using distress inks Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass and a little water on a brush I coloured my bauble , adding some white gel pen highlights to give a glassy feel .
My next step was to stamp out and colour two gingerbread men from the Doodle Art Christmas pudding stamp set . For this I used a combination of of Ecoline watercolour pens and gel pens .
Before assembling my card I stamped and mounted , on green card , the Merry Christmas sentiment from the same stamp set .
I then mounted my background on to my card blank adding a dark green matting layer
Finally I added a doodled border using a black fine liner then drew the top of my bauble and a string attaching the bauble to my branch . I chose to use just one of my gingerbread men with some dimensional paint snow .
Thank you for taking a look this week
Happy crafting
