I know I am posting lots of Christmas cards for the 30 day challenge so didn’t need a separate Festive Friday post but I had made this so posting it anyway!
Today’s Festive Friday was a case of spotting a piece of text print paper and deciding I wanted to use it but wasn’t sure what for – so went for a black, cream and kraft Christmas card.
I inked the paper which is old SU dsp where the base is cream not white, and added black soot to it.
Then I chose scraps of cream and stamped the foliage images in both Black Soot and the Versafine to get a variation in the greys/blacks.
I then added splatter to the panel using the shimmer ink in champagne which provides just a bit of shimmery fun!
I did a double layer banner with Kraft and black and then did a die cut sentiment – admittedly this is white as the top layer but I think it works!
I then added some black waxed thread as a bow and added this under the banner which I raised on foam adhesive to give dimension.
I next stamped and cut the other two parts to the sentiment and added those.
I mounted the panel onto some cream and then onto the Kraft card base, adding a panel inside to make it easy to write the message.
Then I spotted the charcoal shiny puffy star in a Hey Little Magpie embellishment kit and decided it was the perfect little extra to finish off! Cute!
So quite a different design with all the blacks and then the cream – but I like it a lot!
Happy crafting!
