Merry and Bright

Hi Bloggers.

Today's card features a fab Santa stamp.

For the background, I stamped one of the holly sprig stamps from the Justrite Vintage Christmas Ornaments Rubber Stamp Set a few times using Iced Spruce Distress Ink. Then I filled in some of the gaps by stamping the 'Tis the Season' sentiment from the Justrite Christmas Inner Thoughts Rubber Stamp Set. I popped a clean nozzle from a pot of Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue onto a pot of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White. I drizzled the PVA across the background diagonally and then diagonally the other way. I put it aside to dry. Once dry I 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 then inked around the edges with Iced Spruce using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the gorgeous Santa from the Justrite Christmas Labels 22 Rubber Stamp Set using Iced Spruce and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Crystal Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Three Dies and inked through the die with Iced Spruce. I cut a Holly Motif out of Dark Green Card using the Spellbinders Holly Motifs Die Set and popped it behind Santa.

I wrapped some White Silky Crush Ribbon around the right hand side of the background. I cut a holly border using Spellbinders Holly Accents die set and glued it to the ribbon.

I stamped the sentiment from the Inner Thoughts Stamp Set using Iced Spruce and embossed with Aurora Crystal Sparkle. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Iced Spruce. I cut 2 corners using the Spellbinder Holly Accents Die Set and glued them to the sentiment panel as shown.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
