I hope you all had a super day yesterday with your nearest and dearest.
I still have a few Christmas cards to share so will continue to post these over the next few days.
First up are some multiples of the same design which I mass produced when I realised I still didn't have enough in my stash (happens every year! lol). These cards use some beautiful Christmas stamps from Uniko.
I made twenty cards in total, five of each design/colourway. The MISTI was my best friend when making these!
I started by stamping the pine needles, blended with two different shades of green. Next I stamped the baubles, each sentiment in a different colour. The bows and bauble toppers were then stamped in either bronze or silver, and I then hand drew the string and tie. I added some glue with a Quickie Glue pen to the pine needles and then accented them all with some fine glitter, although this hasn't really been captured in the photos. You can just about see it in the photos of the red and purple versions. They were really sparkly!
Materials used:
- Stamps: Uniko - Winter Foliage, Labelled Christmas, Jingle Bells
- Ink: Altenew - Forest Glades, Evergreen, Sea Glass, Ruby Red, Purple Wine, Volcano Lake; Versa Color - Silver, Bronze
- Glitter: Cosmic Shimmer - Diamond Frost in Frosty Dawn
Here's a closer look at 'Let it Snow' in Altenew Sea Glass ink...
Here's the 'Merry Christmas' version in Altenew Ruby Red...
Next up is 'Holly Jolly' stamped in Altenew Volcano Lake ink...
And last up, 'Jingle Bells's using Altnew Purple Wine...
