Have a Festive Christmas

Hi Bloggers.

Another Christmas Card today -

For the background, using the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the Holly Script A6 Stamp using Forest Moss Distress Ink. I just did this in the top section of the card. I then added a few berries from the Justrite Festive Poinsettia Stamp Set (just 1 left in stock - see this post) using Festive Berries Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Holiday Magic M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Forest Moss using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the baubles and sentiments using the Justrite Vintage Christmas Ornaments Stamp Set and the Heritage Christmas Ornaments Stamp Set with Jet Black Archival. I cut them out with their corresponding Spellbinders Dies - Heirloom Ornaments 2011, 2012 and 2013 and inked through the dies with Festive Berries. I ran some Bakers Twine from the Primary Set down to each ornament and added a bow.



I stamped the sentiment from the Festive Poinsettia Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Festive Berries.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Hi Julia
    What an impressive card this is!
    Love all the layers you have used. Must dig out my mbossability Christmas folders and start reusing them. The baubles with the bakers twine are exquisite. I've bought some bakers twine for something similar if I ever get started on my Christmas cards!

    Best wishes from Katie-Louise
