The
Jingle Belles Christmas Card Challenge is "Have Yourself a Merry LITTLE Christmas" - with the emphasis on the "little" - we're to use an inchie or a twinchie. I have a wonderful set of Christmas inchie stamps by Darkroom Door.
I picked the holly one so that I can also link it up with the inaugural
CAS Christmas Card Challenge (the great new challenge by Loll Thompson and Bonnie Klass).
Here's my holly inchie card:
I stamped the inchie in green ink, trimmed it, mounted it on first a white inverted scallop die cut piece, and then a green one. I like the way the inverted scallops look like holly.
I mounted all of that on a panel with the sentiment and a dry embossed holly border and popped it up on fun foam.
Here's a close-up of the lovely detail in the inchie:
The
Jingle Belles challenge ends in a day or two, but the
CAS Christmas Card Challenge runs until March 24th.
Supplies:
Stamps - Darkroom Door holly inchie, A Muse sentiment
Ink - Versafine Olympia Green
Paper - white and dark green cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Nesties square inverted scallops dies, Cuttlebug holly border embossing folder, fun foam
