Good Morning all
Half way through November so time for some more Christmas inspiration for We Love Stamping
Ive used another woodware stamp of these lovely bells and made DL cards (approx 4x8").
I stamped the image onto white card using green ink and watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, adding some splatters with the same colours to soft the white background. I went around the outside edge of the bells with a pale grey alcohol marker.
Ive gone with a green & gold combo here. I made my card base from Yellowy card and die cut a mat layer from green card and added my topper on top. Keeping it all flat for posting. Glitter glue highlights to the bells and along the edge of the topper panel to finish and add some Christmas sparkle.
I decided not to add an extra sentiment as it would hide the lovely bells and i think the 'ding dong merrily on high, in heaven the bells are ringing' which is part of the stamp says it all.
This is the reverse of the first one, so matted onto yellow with a green card base
I think you can just make out the glitter here, i added it to the bells and around all 4 edges of the white panel - in real life its very sparkly
the 2 together...the great thing about making DL cards is that the last third of the A4 that is spare is the perfect size for the mat on the 2nd card so no waste.
and a red and gold version
Items used:
woodware stamp FRS358 'heavenly bells'
Versafine Clair ink 'green oasis'
Derwent inktense pencils
DL nested dies
Ranger stickles 'crystal & diamond'
