Hello and welcome! I hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly! Today I have a card to share with you that I made for the current Festive Friday and Four Seasons challenges.
For Festive Friday, we are to use at least 3 items on the list. My card includes sparkle, emboss and die cuts.
Art Impressions ladies keep me in stitches and this collaboration stamp set with Simon Says Stamp is no exception! They were stamped, colored with Copic Markers then fussy cut, leaving a small white edge around the images. Oh, so fun! Next the sentiment was stamped with blue pigment ink and clear heat embossed. It was die cut with a sentiment label die then both were set aside so I could create the background.
I decided to go with a mini-slimline size card with a white card base measuring 3.25" x 6.25". I found a perfect piece of patterned paper that conveyed the wintery scene I imagined for these ladies, and it was trimmed down with a mini slimline rectangle die that added the nice hash mark (is that what it's called?) around the edges. I also hand trimmed a piece of white cardstock for the "snowbank" then cut it down with the same mini slimline rectangle die so the edges would match that of the patterned paper. With those pieces attached to the base, I added the sentiment and ladies with foam tape. The blue sweater was covered with polka dots using a white gel pen. Then, using an aqua shimmer pen, sparkle was added to the white "fur" and the heart on the mugs, plus the heart was then covered with Glossy Accents for a nice shine. The snowbank also got a touch of sparkle along the top and I added a bit of shading to ground the ladies. I think the picture below captures the sparkle a bit better.
