Festive Friday 2025 #2

Hi – back with another card – although this is a slight cheat because this is actually the card I made for my parents for 2024 Christmas but never got around to blogging!

I went with a stencilled and inked background using two different snowflake stencils. This way I also could use it as my ‘use a stencil’ entry for a competition over on UK stampers forum.

I then added some die cut stars which are in lots of different but similar colours. I stacked some for additional dimension and then scattered them on a diagonal line across background.

I then decided to focus on the sentiment with an embossed sentiment that was die cut and stacked! I then decided to raise that up on the die cut banner – I inked that slightly and then added some foam adhesive underneath to raise it up. I added some silver thread underneath to add in a different texture.

I then added some of the little stamped and die cut stars too and the sequins in three colours to add sparkle!

I framed the inked background with a layer of a dark purple and then had a larger layer of the pale blue underneath. I did add foam adhesive between those two layers to add the dimension on the card.

Love the colour combo for this card.

So a cheat post for me this week – but still at least it is something I could share that is festive!

Happy crafting!
