Holiday Card Series 2016 | Card #6 | KWCardDesign

Hi and welcome to another card in my HCS for 2016!  Today, I wanted to create a more simple card focusing around the sentiment, but amping  up the card with embellishments and sparkle!

I started with a piece of distress water color card stock, and I had this previously die cut and wanted to use this panel since it was available in my stash.  So I prepped my panel with my power tool and put my panel in my MISTI stamping tool.  I am stamping onto textured water color paper, so this ensures that I get a great stamped impression.  I inked up my Merry Christmas stamp from Simon Says Stamp with versa mark ink, and coated my sentiment with the Hero Arts white embossing powder, and I used my heat tool to set.

Then, I wanted to give my sentiment some color with the Candied Apple Distress ink, so I brushed plain water all over my panel, and onto my plastic palette from Art Impressions, I smooshed some of the ink on the palette, and took my paint brush, and brushed on the color to create a water colored panel.

I wanted some extra depth to my red, so I added some Barn Door Distress ink as well, I did heat set in between layers.  Then, once I was happy with the color, I sprayed some shimmer mist to give some slight shimmer my panel and I set aside.

I then die cut a piece of Silver Sparkle card stock from MFT, using a rectangle die from the Hero Arts Infinity Dies, and also a piece of New Leaf Card stock from PTI using a stitched frame die from Right At Home.

I added some shimmery red ribbon in my stash to the bottom of the panel and added the panel backed with the silver sparkle card stock and added some foam tape to that.  and adhered it to my green die cut panel.  Then, I added all of that to my white card base, also from PTI. To finish, I added a felt holly leaf embellishment to tie in the green of the card stock.

Holiday Card Series | Day 7 | KWCardDesign

Hi all!  Today I am sharing my 7th and final card for my Holiday Card Series for 2015!  Today I wanted to use the set from Lawn Fawn called Tobbagan Together - which I haven't used yet!  It is one of my favorites from the release before their Valentine release.

I started out by creating my sky with some Distress Inks onto a piece of water color card stock.  Then, I die cut a lot of elements from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside border dies and the Mama Elephant Snow Capped Mountains dies.  I then took the two penguins from the Tobbagan Together stamp set and stamped those with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and did a little Copic coloring.

Once I was finished with coloring in my images, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out, and then I started to put together my scene.

As always - I have the products I used listed below as well as the video tutorial!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

And, for my sentiment I decided to just stamp it on the inside!!
