But, I've been stamping a Christmas card here and there... hence, I'm sneaking up on the total. I'll get there... Never fear.
So, here are two that I created this weekend. I love designer paper - so that was the basis of the designs:
The picture doesn't really do this card justice. The main image was stamped on Poison Ivory cardstock with Brilliance Coffee bean ink, colored with copic markers, and cut out with a Nestabilities scallop die. While the die was in place, I sponged Creamy Caramel ink around the tree for a sepia tone. The designer paper is Basic Grey Fruitcake paper and is stitched together. It's all layered on a cardbase of Prism Desert Coral Dark paper, which is a rich earthy color - and not really a traditional Christmas color. Topping it all off is a K-ology metal brad.
My second card is similar in colors with a ruby card base, olive matte and caramel brown around the sentiment. Maybe the beautiful Autumn colors in St. Louis were coloring my theme!
Thanks for stopping by,
Lisa
