The bottom right image on the new Peace on Earth mood board immediately gave me the idea for this card.
I had a perfect piece of patterned paper for the background. I put it in my MISTI and stamped the silhouette sleigh image a few times directly onto the patterned paper until I got a perfect impression, then heat embossed it. I went around the edges of the panel with a black marker. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, sponged a bit of Antique Linen ink on it to give it the same slightly aged look as the patterned paper, and also went around the edges of it with a black marker.
We'd love to have you join us at Peace on Earth, either inspired by the mood board below, or with an "anything Christmas" card.
I'm also entering the card at the Jingle Belles' "Vintage" challenge.
Supplies:
Stamps - Tim Holtz
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black, Distress Antique Linen
Paper - off-white cs, Paper Studio dp
Size - A2
Accessories - Spellbinders rectangle dies, black marker, clear embossing powder

ReplyDeleteOh Susan this is just PERFECT!! Fabulous job on the stamping (never thought to heat emboss it ... great idea). Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI can see where your design came from and I love it, Susan! I have that sleigh on NBUS Mountain, so thank you for the inspiration! Hugs, Darnell
