So excited to play in Loll and Bonnie's brand new CAS Christmas Card Challenge:-)
Challenge #1 is Holly!
I was inspired by This beautiful CAS card by Susy aka Boss on Splitcoaststampers, who was recently chosen Featured Stamper for the week of February 18th:-)
Here is my CAS Holly Christmas Card!
While I had my supplies out I made a 2nd card for my stash:-)
I have a feeling my Christmas card stash is going to grow much quicker than normal with the new CAS Christmas Card Challenge:-)
I started by swiping T.H. Mowed Lawn and Barn Door Distress Inks onto acrylic stamping block and spritzing with water using my T.H. spritzer. Then stamped onto Fluid 100 Hot Press WC paper.
I used my aqua pen to help move the ink around and add more ink from my block where needed.
When dry I stamped my holly and berries from STAMPlorations "Layered Holly" by Shirley, with Archival Jet Black ink using my MISTI. Adding Wink of Stella to stamped images.
Then I die cut the frame using SU Square Dies (ret) attaching my main image to my 5" x 5" SU Thick Whisper White card base. Next adding fun foam to my frame and covering my image. As you can see, I used the same framing design as Susy's card above. Susy also stamped her background with her inked and spritzed acrylic block.
Instead of a silhouette die cut image like Susy used, I die cut a sentiment
and attached to the upper left corner using Tomboy clear glue.
Thank you Susy for your inspiring card and Congratulations again for being chosen
SCS Featured Stamper.
