Good Morning Everyone
Happy Saturday! Today I'm taking part in the monthly Inspireink Blog Hop and other theme is Christmas in July.
I've used the gorgeous Vintage Christmas Stamp Set and a selection of non traditional colours to give a Soft & Subtle tone to this Christmas Card.
Measurements
Sahara Sand Card Stock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - 1 1/8" x 4 1/2"
scraps
Very Vanilla Card Stock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
scraps
Soft Sea Foam Card Stock
2pc - 1 1/4" x 4"
Petal Pink Card Stock
1pc - 5 1/2" x 3 3 /4"
----------------------------------------
Take the Sahara Sand Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the Very Vanilla piece to the inside.
Using the Gingham Embossing Folder and your Cut & Emboss Machine, emboss the piece of Petal Pink. Add this to the centre of the card front.
Ink up the small berries and leaf image and stamp over the strips. I used Soft Sea Foam ink of the Sahara Sand Strip and Sahara Sand ink on the soft Sea Foam strip.
Add these strips at slight angles on the centre of the card front.
On scraps of Very Vanilla stamp two of the tall bottles and cut out. Stamp a smaller bottle in Sahara Sand onto Sahara sand card and fussy cut. Also stamp the sentiment circle and cut out.
Ink up the leaves in Soft Sea Foam and Stamp onto a scrap of Sahara sand and cut away a few of the springs.
Stamp the floral Cluster on Very Vanilla. This stamp has three parts - the flowers (stamped in Petal Pink), the Leaves (stamped in Soft Sea Foam) and the flower centres and pine cones (stamped in Sahara Sand). If you stamp these one on top of the other, the elements all fit together to create a full image! Fussy Cut the cluster.
Now, all you need to do is build you focal image onto the card front. I used both liquid glue and dimensionals to create some depth and add few pearls for a bit of extra detail.
I hope you have enjoyed my project for today, please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop to get lots more Christmas Crafting Inspiration.
