Happy Christmas Son

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card.

The backing paper is from the Polka Doodles Here Comes Christmas CD. I dusted it with my anti-static bag and put it aside. I cut 2 sizes from the Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight die set. I dusted them both with my anti-static bag. I then placed them where I wanted them on the backing paper using re-positionable tape. I stamped the reindeer from the Creative Expressions Let it Snow Stamp Set using Perfect Medium in the centre of the smaller Labels Twenty Eight die cut. I then stamped another reindeer coming out of the top of the die cuts and another running up into the die cuts. I sprinkled some Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Metallic Embossing Powder over the stamped images, removed the temporary adhesive and heat set the powder. I inked around the edges of the die cuts with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I actually split the 'Happy Christmas to all' stamp from the set so that I just had the 'Happy Christmas'. I placed this on my acrylic block with the 'SON' stamp from the Creative Expressions Create A Scene Text Stamp Set. I stamped the text using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Silver Shine Metallic Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two. I inked through the die with Aged Mahogany and added a couple of Faux Screw Brads in Antique Silver.

I assembled the card as shown. I added a bow made with 2 lengths of Two Tone Ribbon in Dark Red. I finished the card off with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Silver Lustre around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
