The Paper Players want a clean and simple card with things that fly. My Time to Craft wants a square card. And Try It on Tuesday wants to keep it simple - my card is both CAS in design and simple to make.
This is definitely simple to make as the image requires very little colouring after stamping it. I used alcohol markers to add the colour. I trimmed the panel with a hemstitch square die and layered it over red cs.
While I had the stamp and the red cs out, I made a regular A2 version of it.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Impression Obsession bird, Hero Arts sentiment
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - white and red cs
Size - 4.5" square
Accessories - alcohol markers, Spellbinders hemstitch square die
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - Impression Obsession bird, Hero Arts sentiment
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white and red cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Tombow markers, Sizzix pierced dot rectangle die
Susan... love seeing your beautiful Christmas card in the gallery. I am trying so hard to pull up my stash right now so you are inspiring me! Thanks for sharing this lovely gem with the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet bird perched on the holly branch on both cards, and the hemstitch die cut square backed with the red card is so elegant, and then the pierced mat on the second and a great contrast placed on a red card...two gorgeous cards Susan. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful image and I love the colours you've added to the holly and berries. And the accent colour on the sweet birds. Both versions are wonderful, Susan.
ReplyDeleteit may be simple but so effective. They are both beautiful cards xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet chickadee both ways, Susan! You've added just the right amount of color and the red borders are beautiful to show him off!
