Yay! It's nearly Christmas!! Boo, that means no more Christmas projects for a while.... :( I absolutely love making Christmas cards so I'm super excited to bring one last card to my blog and YouTube video today.
For this card I used the Pretty Pink Posh 'Holiday Signs' stamp set which sooo cute!
I created a watercolour background using some watercolour cardstock and a nice navy coloured paint. Once the background was dry I added a few snowflakes using a sparkly white embossing powder. I also splattered on a few white 'snowflakes' with some watered-down white gouache....you can never have enough snowflakes!! I trimmed my card panel down to 4"x5.25" and adhered this a piece of navy cardstock measuring 4.25"x5.5" which leaves a nice 1/8" border all the way around and ties in really nice with the navy watercolour.
I stamped my images on to copic friendly cardstock with memento tuxudeo black ink and coloured the images using a variety of copic markers (colours used are listed below) and cut them out using my pixscan mat and silhouette portrait. I popped the coloured images in to my misi tool and added all the sentiments using the same memento black ink.
To add dimension to the card I used foam tape behind my images and then secured them to the card with the help of a T-square ruler.
I adhered the whole card panel to a landscape top folding cardbase and finished off the card by adding a bit of nuvo crystal glaze on to a few elements of my characters.
I had some images left over so added them to some tags and added some pretty red glittery ribbon and voila.... some super easy and super cute Christmas tags!
