I would like to show you another Christmas card that I created:
- cut out a window from paper from the My Mind's Eye Necessities Wood 6x6 paper pad
- create a background on watercolor paper using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender, Stormy Sky, Broken China)
- apply Viva Decor Embossing Paste (Pearl White) through the Memory Box Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
- stamp the cute snowman from Artemio 10001232 with Versafine Onyx Black on white cardstock and color the image with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils, Zest-it and a white gel pen
- stamp the sentiment on a piece of vellum with Versamark using Lawn Fawn Sweet Christmas and Lawn Fawn Jessie's ABCs and heat-emboss with metallic purple embossing powder
- stamp the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain on a kraft cardbase with Adirondack Dye Ink (Latte)
- as a final touch, I decided to punch a hole at the top of the window as if it were a tag and I added a piece of twine through that hole
I would like to link this card up to the following challenges:
