Festive Friday

Hello! I actually made this card towards the beginning of August as I wanted to use the Waffle flower poinsettia background stencil that I had bought but not used during the Christmas in July series.

I decided to stencil onto the cream cardstock and for the first one I kept it simple with just the ink.

This creates such a beautiful panel of paper.

I decided for the second card panel that I would add in the versamark after the initial inking of the red and then clear embossing.

This gives the red petals some shine and texture.

I did add gold pen to the centre of the flowers of the first card but it doesn’t show so well on the finished card.

I decided to add the red frame that I die cut and then I used the leftover red to create the mat for the panel.

For each I added the Tim Holtz moose which were already die cut and inked up ready from when I used them a while ago for the Christmas in July- I die cut a few whilst I had the die out so there were some ready to go!

I also added the die cut sentiments that were made in a batch earlier that day.

I added some die cut holly leaves just behind the sentiment cut from inked cardstock so they match the inking on the background panel.

I chose to use green as a card blank for one and red for the other. The red one I added some foam behind the panel so it’s a raised dimensional card.

Inside both cards I added a cream panel and the scrap cut off the stencilled panel as a strip.

This helps link the inside with the outside.

Once again the process was captured on camera so please check out my YouTube channel.

Happy crafting!
