Christmas Fun

 

Christmas Card Throwdown- Retiform Technique

Stamping Sensations- Animals, Birds & Creatures

Addicted to Stamps- Christmas 

This is an old style but I never made one like this and it was fun. I took a scrap paper, a sponge and a dye ink pad, in apricot brown, and started to create the geometric shapes. I placed down the paper onto a cardstock I had floating around for a while ( I created the background using red and green distress ink with water).  I took a few small stamps and bigger evergreen ones along with brown, green and red dye ink pads and started to stamp. To make sure you don’t stamp in other areas, you cover the area you don’t want stamped with posted notes. Once that was all stamped, I added the bow and the saying.

Inspiration Station- Dog and Cat ..Cuddly

I used my cuddlebug and an embossing folder I’ve had for a while but never used. I took some grey cardstock, cut it so it fit the folder and took my red dye ink and rub it on the flat side. I pressed it through and the red came right onto the card. I coloured in the rose and leaves with a glitter pen for some added oomph. I stamped my sweet pussy cat in black and used my tombow markers to colour in my pussy cat plus I added some glitter, obviously. I fussy cut her out and glued her in place. I added the hearts, the green leaves and the wood flower, that I coloured in red with the dye ink pad, and glued them in place. I placed it on some green cardstock, with some stamped greenery in green dye ink and voila!

Have a beautiful day and week ahead.
