Hello and a happy Monday to you! I have another Christmas card to share.
I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White to 3 1/2 by 4 3/4 inches and used torn sticky notes to mask the bottom. Then I sponged Memento Danube Blue ink.
I added another torn sticky note and sponged some more, this time, also sponging around the edges.
Sponged a little Memento Paris Dusk at the top.
With my masks in place, I stamped the large tree, from Winter Wonderland, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped it two more times, without re-inking to make some trees appear more distant.
Next, I stamped the smaller tree, once at full strength, then a few more times without re-inking.
Removed the masks and sponged around the bottom edges with Danube Blue and Paris Dusk.
I decided I needed one more tree, so I replace the lower mask and stamped the small tree one more time.
I added the sentiment, from A Very Merry Christmas and then added the holly image, from Celebrate The Season. I inked up the image with Memento Bamboo Leaves, then wiped the berries clean with my finger. Then I used a Memento Marker (Lady Bug Red) to ink the berries.
I stamped the holly a few more times and added some piercing. I layered with Pure Luxury In The Navy and used a Baby Boy Blue for the card base. The finished size is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
