Hello my crafting friends, good to have you here today, I am back from my little holiday it was fabulous to see my beautiful Daughter again, even if it was for only a few days, it was last Christmas the last time I saw her, such a long time.
Now as I said on my last post I have been making smaller cards with coloured backgrounds, this one is slightly different as after spraying the background I added a leaf stencil then sprayed over that in White so this gives it a bit of a focal point.
I attached my background using Foam Tape towards the top of the card, leaving the space at the bottom for my sentiment.
I die cut the bauble from 2011 Heirloom Ornament and painted it Red, then die cut the smaller bauble from Christmas Baubles and painted that Gold, I stuck them together with PVA Glue, added two foam pads on the back and placed them on the card, I drew in the hanging cord with a Gold pen.
I added my sentiment at the bottom using Forest Moss DI and there you have the finished card. Dimensions 4"X 6".
Items Used;
Sheena Douglass White Stamping Card
Aquatints
Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments Dies
Spellbinders Christmas Baubles Dies ( These came with the GC along with the Christmas Tree)
Justrite Large Fancy Christmas Sentiments
Tim Holtz Distress Inks Forest Moss

I love the backgrounds you do Jacquie. So pleased you had a good time with your daughter. I'm sure you made the most of a the short time. Christine xx
ReplyDeleteAnother great background and flip flip flip I sold that Christmas tree and bauble set because I really struggled to cut the tree out and felt I couldn't split the set up! I think I have a few left in my stash so I'm going to play overlaying them on plain baubles
ReplyDeleteHello Jacquie,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I seem to have overlooked your blog for a while. I must write the names of them down so I don't do it again. All your Christmas Card posts are beautiful, and I have never thought of overlaying a small bauble over a larger one - the effect is lovely, so I'll be borrowing that idea. Sorry I've been away, I'll write 100 lines, must do better!!!
