Sanna Lippert Designs ARTplorations Christmas Wreaths Stencil
CUTplorations Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies
I used another alcohol ink background from my stash. I am so happy that I made a bunch of alcohol ink backgrounds using what I thought would work for possible Christmas cards. It sure makes for easy card designs:-)
I die cut the panel with one of the Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies. Then attached my Sanna Christmas Wreaths Stencil over the panel and secured with masking tape. This was my 1st time to outline only 1/2 of the stencil and include the small wreath. Then outlined the leaves and berries thru the stencil with an 03 Black Art Pen.
Removed stencil and used Derwent watercolor pencils to color in the red berries and then colored berries with Prismacolor pencils for richer dark red berries.
I then used Staedler black pen to outline all the leaves and berries.
I popped up the panel using craft foam and attached to die cut red cardfront that I had die cut with the Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies. Love this set. There are 10 dies in the set. I then nested 2 of the nesting dies to make a thin black CS frame for the panel.
Stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Reindeer stamp set onto white cardstock, trimmed and popped up with craft foam, attached to cardbase and Done!
Enjoy and Happy Holidays, dear friends. May 2021 bring control of the pandemic through out the world and Peace. Love and Hugs..

ReplyDeleteHi, StampGirlNancy! I know how happy you must be to have all your gorgeous backgrounds to turn to at such a busy card making season. This one is a perfect backdrop for your outline-stenciled partial wreath. I love how my eyes can sink right into an alcohol ink background.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe Christmas Eve is this Thursday and Christmas Friday. December has flown by, but has been fun getting all my cards mailed and did have to make a few extras, but that was fun too. Love receiving cards from friends and family all over the world:-) Love the baking part even tho I did much less than normal. We will be having a relaxed and safe Christmas and New Years and feeling very thankful that all our family and close friends are safe and healthy too:-) Love to you and Matt, my dear friend. Hugs...
DeleteFun background, design, and sentiment. The way you did the sentiment really makes it stand out - I am going to try that! Fun card, Nancy. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Wishes for a more peaceful 2021 as well - for all of us. Thanks for your always encouraging words and visits to my blog as well. Many hugz

DeleteSuch a bright, festive card Nancy, and what a great idea to prepare a whole load of backgrounds in Christmassy colours! I'll file that away for future reference (and then forget it probably with my sieve-like brain!!) Hope you've had a lovely peaceful Christmas and here's wishing you a very happy 2021. Vicky xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicky for your sweet comment. I know all about the sieve-like brain syndrome:-) I just ignore and then things eventually back to me:-)
