Hi All! Welcome to Day Two of the Kraft-y Hearts Christmas KISS blog share. Today's inspiration comes from page 46 of
Make It From Your Heart, vol 1 and the
Christmas Post stamp set. Let's take a look:
The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches, and is cut from
Colonial White cardstock. I used patterned papers from the
Yuletide Carol paper pack for the base layer on the card front. All layers are inked around the edges with
Cashmere Exclusive ink to give them an antiqued, slightly distressed look. The sentiment banner is cut from
Colonial White cardstock and layered on
Ruby cardstock. The sentiment itself is stamped in
VersaMark ink and
heat embossed using
gold embossing powder. It's popped up with
dimensional adhesive.
The snowman is sitting atop layers of
Colonial White and
Ruby cardstocks,
tan (gold) glitter paper, and
Yuletide Carol paper, which is popped up on the
glitter paper with
dimensional adhesive. I stamped the snowman on
White Daisy cardstock using
black Stāz-On ink and then
heat embossed him with
clear embossing powder. I then used my water brush and various Exclusive inks to color him in. (You could also use the
ShinHan Touch Twin alcohol ink markers, but I wanted a softer look on this card.) I then fussy cut him and popped him up using
dimensional adhesive.
Here are a couple of close-ups:
And here is the card one more time:
I hope you were inspired by today's card. Tune in tomorrow for more inspiration.
And now hop on over and see what the incredibly inspiring
