Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing my next batch of Christmas cards, using this fab stamp from woodware, ive teamed it up with a paper pad and kraft card.
Approx size 5x7" I first stamped my image onto kraft card and cut out with the arch die, i then stamped again onto patterned papers, cut out the candles and holly leaves and paper pieced on the base image. I coloured the candle flames with wink of stella pens so them shimmer in the light. I went around the outside of the image with watered down white gesso to help the image stand out, i then splatted on the watered down gesso to add a snowy effect.
I die cut a cardbase from kraft card with the largest arch die and a piece of patterned paper with a smaller one. I also added a strip of paper across the card. I die cut a fishtail banner and stamped my sentiment, this is attached to my topper with an eyelet for a bit of fun interest. I then mounted the topper with foam tape for a bit of dimension.
Just a close up
This shows how i did my background, to make my paper pad go further i cut the middle out of my paper arch with a smaller die, and the strip across the middle was made from smaller off cuts - it all gets hidden so no one knows any different.

Woodware candle stamp
LOTV sentiment stamps
Crealies stitched arch dies

ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous Emma, I always forget to trying stamping on kraft card, must give it a try. I'm the same as you and cut out the centres of paper when I'm putting something over them, nothing wrong with being thrifty!! Big hugs Kirsty. x

How wonderfully beautiful! Classic, yet contemporary, sweet and elegant, and more than a little bit breathtaking - not mention a terrific reminder to us of all of just how incredible stamping (and colouring) looks on kraft cardstock.
