Christmas Card Multiples - Starstruck Silhouettes

Good evening

Yes, you've guessed it, I've got more Christmas card multiples for you! 

After I made my DT card for the latest Perfectly CAS challenge, here, I just had to make more cards using the gorgeous animal silhouettes in the Card-io Starstruck set.  I just love it.

So I made two each of five different designs, all one layer mini cards...


Each design follows the same basic principle, gently ink blending away from a curved piece of scrap paper to create the snow hills.  Rather than using a blending tool I wrapped some kitchen paper around my finger and gently blended the pigment ink, fading it upwards.  I then stamped the silhouettes and sentiments in black ink.  The only design that was created slightly differently was the front facing fox as he has a white chest, so I stamped him first before masking him and then ink blending the background.

For my previous card I heat embossed the star but as these were one layer cards I didn't want to risk warping the card bases with the heat so instead I stamped them with silver pigment ink then used a glue pen over them and sprinkled on some fine glitter to create the sparkle.  I then finished by adding some detailing with a white pigment pen.






Materials used:

  • Stamps: Card-io - Starstruck; Penny Black - Wonder Collection
  • Ink: Versa Color - Neptune, Silver; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Accents: Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Frost - Frosty Dawn; Signo Uniball white pen
