Cracking on with Christmas cards every chance I get!
For Jingle Belles "The Spirit of Christmas Past", one of the options is to use a stamp that conveys a vintage vibe. I used a Tim Holtz one that looks like a vintage postcard.
I put the stamp in my MISTI and stamped it with Antique Linen. Then I coloured sections of it with watercolour crayons, spritzed with water, and stamped again to add colour to certain sections. I then ran Antique Linen around the edges of the panel and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The sentiment is die cut twice and glued together for more dimension. Champagne-coloured pearls finish it all off.
My Time to Craft Christmas's challenge is "Wreaths". I used a never-before-used stamp so can also take the card to NBUS.
A simple image, stamped and watercoloured, trimmed with square dies, bordered in black, and embellished with glossy accents on the berries.
