This week I
am playing along at Merry Monday, this is a weekly Christmas card challenge
blog.
I have been following this blog for half a year but have never entered any
of the challenges, however it is now my New Year’s resolution to play along to
every challenge so come Christmas time next year I will have plenty of Christmas
cards on hand.
This week at
Merry Monday Lesley has a “Colour" challenge, blue and white with texture!
The colour
picture provided for this challenge is beautiful, unfortunately though I don’t really own any blues that match that
of the picture so I used what I had on hand and went with some non-traditional blue colours.
So now on to
the card details…
I started
off with a Whisper White Note Card and heat embossed my sentiment from Hero
Arts Holiday Tree stamp set using Rangers Super Fine Silver Embossing Powder, taking the
snowflake tree from the same Hero Arts
Holiday Tree stamp set I then stamped the trees in Lost Lagoon and Coastal
Cabana ink, I then used the coordinating die that came with the stamp set to
cut the trees out.
I die cut
two stitched circles with the Lil’ Inker Designs Stitched Mat Circles die set, the larger
circle is Lost Lagoon cardstock and the medium circle is Trophee Board White
Linen 240 GSM Paper.
To add texture I dry embossed the Lost Lagoon circle using a Lifestyle Crafts Zig
Zag Embossing Folder, To tie in with the snowflake theme and to add more
texture to the card I also used the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil and
Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 White Embossing Paste to cover my Trophee Board White
Linen stitched circle, before the paste had a chance to dry I also sprinkled
some gorgeous Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter onto the wet embossing paste to add a little
sparkle (who doesn’t like a bit of sparkle right).
While I was
waiting for the embossing paste to dry I die cut two banners of the same size
using the Stampin’ Up! Banner Framelits
die set and Coastal Cabana cardstock, I glued the two banner tail ends together
with Tombow Mono Multipurpose Liquid Glue to create a rectangle to place under the
two stitched circles, once the glue had set I then stamped the rectangle using
the Hardwood stamp from Stampin’ Up and Versamark Ink to create a watermark
wood grain effect.
To finish
the card I
adhered the Coastal Cabana snowflake tree down
slightly off the falling snow stitched circle, I then looped some Silver Metallic Thread up and adhered this to the tree using a Mini Glue
Dot, I popped the Lost Lagoon snowflake tree up on Small Foam Dots and placed
it slightly over the Coastal Cabana snowflake tree, and lastly I added a silver
star made with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and Silver Glimmer Paper.
Hope you liked my take on this non-traditional blue and white Christmas card,
Have a lovely week and as always, thanks for stopping by.
