Hello and Happy Holiday Season!
I have the privilege of guest designing for Creative Worship Stamps this month of December. With Christmas being 24 days away, I had to start out the month with a Christmas card.
Today's card features my all time favorite Christmas Stamp- Born This Day from Creative Worship Stamps, formerly Sweet n Sassy Stamps.
The main image was colored with Copics and fussy cut out. Dies are available, but I am one of those odd ones who likes to cut!
I had fun with my mixed media background; initially, I stamped one of the pine branches from the Christmas Pine Stamp Set in Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. Next up, playing with the CWS Blotchy Dots and Hearts Stencil- I inked up the dots side of the stencil with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink and spritzed it with water, then smooshed it onto the paper. By the time I was done, you really could not make out the dots, by I ended up with a nice blotchy background.
Next up, I placed the dots stencil on the dried background and spritzed it with Salvaged Patina Distress Spray. Once everything was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Christmas Stamp Set adhered the main image and added some sequins for sparkle and called it done.
I am linking up to the following challenges~
The Paper Players- I have used multiple rows-white/Christmas/die cuts, white/stenciling/sparkle, stenciling/trees/embossing
Just Us Girls- Anything Goes Stencil Week
Just Add Ink- Just add dies and/or stencils
