Merry Christmas

Hi there my crafty friends!  I started with a piece of antique gold card.  I used the star cluster stamp from the Santa Stamp set and inked it with a Clear Perfect Medium pad and stamped it randomly all over the edges of the card.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder on it then heated it.  I cut two of dies from the Stained Glass Rectangles in white.  I backed both of them with black card and matted them together, then added them to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I stamped the Santa from the same set in black.  I coloured it with markers and a gold paint pen.  I cut it by hand (very easy to do) and added it to the matted rectangles with mounting foam.  I used some Fluffy Stuff on his hat and heated it to puff it up.  I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the stamp set in black and matted it with gold and black mats.  I added it below the focal element with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white, gold and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

  7. Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely stamped image and so beautifully coloured, I am very weak with colouring as my hands shake too much but I certainly appreciate how clever people are who do colour regularly.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
