Festive Friday – inspired by OCC

So this card I made inspired by one of the Online Card Classes. I decided to sign up for the classes but couldn’t justify the price of shipping the kit to the UK so I’ve been doing some stash shopping to see what I could do inspired by the classes even if I couldn’t exactly play along. Then I had little time at the point the classes went live to play – but on day 5 I did manage to grab some time to make this card inspired by something Kristina Werner had made! So now I am sharing it as a Festive Friday card!

I used two stencils but I had to do some masking off of both the border and also the two sections to use one pattern in the bottom part and a separate pattern for the top.

I started with the bottom part where I inked through the small section I had left open with Versamark and then used a green embossing powder. After heat setting that I masked the other section and then inked through a snowflake stencil using a darker green ink. I kept this as a flat card so was doing this directly onto the card blank.

Then I grabbed the Lawn Fawn die cut sentiment and added that in red cardstock (well it’s a dark coral / light poppy red colour).

I then grabbed some snowflakes I die cut from white scraps and added those too.

I then added clear glitter clue to the snowflakes and the die cut sentiment as I felt it just needed something extra given it was (for me) a very simple card! I

I feel I could have added a little more white – maybe a white gel pen border around the stencilled panel? But I do really love the two stencil panel – it’s something a bit different!

Happy crafting!
