Bearing Gifts Christmas Card
I’m just tickled with the way this card turned out! I played a color challenge where the colors to use were Barely Banana, Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke. I also bought some gift baskets from Manly Man Gift Baskets to go with my card. Well, I “choked” on the “Artichoke” and had to use Old Olive instead! Here’s my card:
Don’t you just LOVE these colors together for Christmas! I started out using a base card stock of Rich Razzleberry and stamped it with the same color ink with the Sanded background stamp. Next came my Circle Scissors Plus, and I cut one circle from Barely Banana card stock and the other a bit smaller from the pretty pine print from Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. The Circle Scissors Plus makes layering circles as easy as can be! I mounted that on Dimensionals and added a Jumbo Paper Clip from the Assorted Clips packet tied with Old Olive 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon and Rich Razzleberry 1/2″ Polka Dot Ribbon. Next came my main image, stamped from Bearing Gifts. This is a single stamp in the Holiday Mini Catalog and sells for just $8.95. I stamped the image in VersaMark, then sprinkled on Black Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool to set it. I colored the images in with a Blender Pen and my stamp pads in Rich Razzleberry, Barely Banana, Old Oive and Close to Cocoa. The image has a “To” and “From” where I stamped “Merry Christmas”, so I just covered those words with a Post-It Note before inking my stamp. Just remember to remove the mask before stamping on the paper! Then the “Merry Christmas” is stamped in Close to Cocoa Classic ink to match the bear. It comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. That’s mounted on Old Olive card stock and then adhered with Dimensionals.
Here’s a close-up of the embossing and coloring.
