Today’s challenge at Addicted to stamps and more is Christmas so I made another card for my festive stash …
I grabbed a stamp and die set I bought a while ago from Spellbinders to play with it. Unfortunately it doesn’t stamp as well as I would have hoped – it’s like the stamp isn’t flat – but after much fiddling I managed to get an impression that’s good enough to use. And this is the card I made…
I die cut the stamped panel several times and stacked it up with a middle layer using the stencil waste so that there was some dimension behind that panel.
I added the sentiment from waffleflower in the middle of the stencil waste panel and then some gems to the stamped image and a bow.
I added it to a red card blank to make it even more festive as the black and white stamping was quite stark.
Quite a modern card and I like it – just need to fiddle with the stamp for next time I use it to get a better impression and then can change up the colours or even try embossing!
Happy crafting!
