I have this card for Jingle Belles:
They wanted a card in inspired by their banner:
I saw the image (on the left of the banner) of the candy canes tied up with Christmas greenery and gold ribbon, and immediately thought of a stamp I have. And I kept lots of red in the card as the banner has a lot of red.
The image is stamped and coloured with coloured pencils, including a metallic gold pencil for the ribbon. I trimmed it with a label die and went around the edge with a fine black marker to give the edge some definition. I popped it up on fun foam on a border cut out of candy cane dp, using the next size up of the same label die. I used a red cs for the base that has a tiny bit of gold shimmer in it (hard to see in the photo).
Next up:
Stamped and watercoloured, a bit of gold splatter added, a gold shimmer border and a gold sentiment cut out with a banner die.
And one more card today:
Shopping our Stash wants a masculine card and The Paper Players want a deer - the two go together really well.
My card was inspired by a video I saw online a while back (that unfortunately I can't find again). The moon and the snowbanks are done with masking and sponging. Then the reindeer and the holly branches are stamped on top. I bordered with black cs, went along the snow lines with clear Stickles, painted the berries with a red Posca paint pen, splattered with a white Posca paint pen, and added a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker.
I made a second version, adding a bit of text stamping to take the place of the sentiment sticker on the first version:

ReplyDeleteBoth versions of your deer card are magnificent! I love the scene you've created around that wonderful stag but then the way you've framed it with the black layer just brings it all to life. Thank you so much for sharing with us at The Paper Players. :-)
