Landscape Christmas for Sunday Stamps

Happy Holidays, friends!  It's Christmas day and also the beginning of a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This time we have a beautiful color combination to inspire you.

I used navy, purple and coral with a bit of metallic gold for the sentiment and star. One of my final Christmas cards for 2022 (come back Wednesday to see my last one).


This card was so easy to make.  I started by die cutting the snowy hill from white cardstock, then used that to determine where to being ink blending.  Using an A2 sized panel of Bristol paper, I first added some Abandoned Coral Distress Ink nearest to where the horizon line would be, then added Chipped Sapphire and a bit of Black Soot to the top, then filled in the middle with Villainous Potion, trying not to overlap the coral.  Once the ink dried, the die cut panel was adhered.


Next, the sentiment and star were die cut from matte gold cardstock, then adhered to the card front.  The final steps were to use a white gel pen to create stars in the sky and add the panel to a white card base!  This could be a design I use to make multiple cards next year - I love the colors and, of course, how quickly it came together.


Thanks for taking time to stop by!  You'll want to be sure to use the link above to see the gorgeous cards by the other DT members and hopefully be inspired to join us for our last challenge of 2022!

Take care!

Stef
