Christmas Countdown
Today I'm participating in the Christmas Countdown Blog Hop. We're show casing our projects that we're getting ready for Christmas. My card feature the Merry Snowflakes Stampset and a technique to add colours to the image using Sponge Daubers. This was such a fun card to make - I love the surprise of what colour it will be when you stamp it.
Instructions
- Cut Balmy Blue card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold in half to form card base.
- Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4"
- Ink up snowflake stamps using Balmy Blue ink.
- Use a sponge dauber to add Night of Navy, Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay to the snowflake before stamping. Repeat using different sizes of snowflakes until you have the card stock covered.
- Cut 7" of Metallic Mesh and wrap around middle. Adhere to the back.
- Cut Balmy Blue cards tock 1" x 4".
- Stamp sentiment using Night of Navy
- Stamp snowflakes to label
- Adhere to card base over mesh using Dimensionals.
- Adhere rhinestones.
You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
