Hi and thanks for popping to my blog to see what I’ve been up to! Today I have a design team contribution for Creative Knockouts using an image gifted from LeAnn’s world 101 called Presents.
Our challenge for this week was Lots of Layers and so I started with the background and added lots of layers of inking, stamping and stencilling.
Then I added some bits of cardstock in red and Kraft to give something for the sentiment and the image to sit on.
I coloured the image using stampin blends markers and then cut round it with a nice white border.
I die cut the merry using a lawn Fawn die and then added the Christmas embossed with white to pick up on the white border to the image.
I chose a brighter green card base and then went a bit made with wink of Stella on the image to make all the baubles and presents sparkle (although as usual the photo doesn’t really show that).
I like this mix of grungy and cute and a fun layered card.
Happy crafting!
