Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all the love on my last post! This is my last Christmas CARD post using the new stamps and stencils from Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous from the LIVE, and it is also a favorite of mine. I love Toile, and this Winterscape Stamp Set has the perfect winter toile images. Seriously, perfect! I LOVE how this card turned out. Enjoy!
Cut blue cardstock to 6
1/4 x 6 1/4 inches and place in the large stamp platform. Arrange all images
from Winterscape except the snow, onto the card even placed. Secure to
platform. Stamp the images in Jet Black Archival. It will take several
stampings to get all the images dark enough, therefore, the platform is
essential. Ink the edges in Gathered Twigs. Dry with a heat tool.
Scribble
Picket Fence Distress Crayon on the silicon mat, and pick up with a water
brush, and color in all the snow areas on each stamp image. It will look best
if colored in again after drying naturally. Dry with a heat tool.
Using
the sentiment 'Greetings of the Season', stamp in Jet Black on kraft cardstock
and heat emboss in Gold Embossing Powder.
Take
the snow stamp from Winterscape and lightly stamp the snow over each image and
around it using Picket Fence Distress Ink and just holding the stamp in your
hand. Dry completely with a heat tool. Use two sided tape to hold the middle of
the ribbon to the card. Stitch around the card and over the ribbon using white
thread to completely secure it.
Cut
gold cardstock to 6 3/8 x 6 3/8 inches. Cut kraft card base to 6 1/2 x 6 1/2
inches. (NOTE: I only had 12 x 12 paper and that was not going to work, so I
used kraft posterboard that I had on hand.) Adhere the gold on the kraft, and
ink the edges of the kraft in Gathered Twigs. Adhere the toile card onto the
gold. Cut around the sentiment, and ink the edges in Gathered Twigs, and adhere
to ribbon of card using Collage Medium.

ReplyDeleteYou certainly captured the Toile effect on your beautiful card with the softness of the blue card backing and those lovely images. Great snow too! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Anita.
ReplyDeleteLove the effect of just the white on the Blue card. Did it take long to do all the coloring? Once you start really looking at it, there is quite a bit to color in....love it!
