Hi everyone, I have a Christmas card to show today for my day on the Katzelkraft blog using the beautiful stamp from the half plate Nuit de Noel and the snowflake stamp from Santa KTZ746. The main image was stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink and then water coloured with Distress inks.
I cut out the image using a Nestabilities Labels die, embossed the image whilst still in the die and then stamped the snowflake around the edges using Old Paper distress ink. I also made a mat of red card for the image panel using the die as the template, drawing around it with a pencil and then cutting it out.
To decorate the panel I added some faux stitching at the top and used a red fine liner pen for the stitches, stickles glitter glue, some red gems and the red ribbon bow. Using a Stampin Up slot punch I made the holes at the sides so that the ribbon could be slotted through. For the card base BasicGrey Jovial paper was used from a 6x6 pad mounted on red card.
Enjoy your day!
