I had a crafting marathon this afternoon, and made 3 Christmas cards! I used my new stamps, "Stained Glass", as well as "In the Meadow", which I just ordered after having it on my wish list for the past year. I think I'll have fun with this set :)
After this photo was taken, I added even more Stickles onto the tree. Now, I'm wishing I'd put something on the bottom of the card to ground the inlaid die cut...Darn. But the good news is, see what I'm learning by watching the PTI design team?!? (You'll have to imagine the light gray Copic shadows that I'm going to put underneath the horse and sleigh...)
I used PTI's Sunshine impression plate on the next two cards--one side of the impression plate for each card--and Copics to colour the focal image, as well as some gold and clear Zig Wink of Stella pen for some glittering. There is also a little Glossy Accents on the halo of baby Jesus, and on the star above his head.
Thanks for looking!
Oh Kathryn, love all three of your cards, especially the stained glass ones. Love that you used the sunshine impression plate on them. I too have been wanting In the Meadow forever and still haven't bought it - my wish list is just too long.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas cards! The 'In the meadow' set is so great, I use it all the time!!

ReplyDeleteAll 4 of your cards look great!
ReplyDeleteI see 4 beautiful cards on your two posts. They are all wonderful, and will be perfectly flat for mailing, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! The red and white framing you did on the last 2 really make them pop and maintain the clean and crisp effect. Love the first one. Your placement of image and text are great! I am a teacher as well-- what did you teach? Thanks for stopping by my site! Look forward to seeing more of your work!
