Ever make, oh say about 45 hand made Christmas cards and then realize, hmmmm do I have one for my Hubby? Geesh!
This card is for my wonderful Husband and will be entered into the Challenges at Scrapy Land, Anything Goes and Simon Says Monday, Let There Be Snow.
I used the sweet little Red Cardinal bird stamps from Avocado Stamps, Winter Fun. I say Red Cardinals because they are my most favorite! Images colored with Copic Markers. I sponged my background creating a dusky sky. Kept my snow line and then added some beautiful Birch trees using the Memory Box Birch Trio die. I sprayed them with a Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine, kind of love how they came out!
Added glittery and falling snow. The JOY is by Sizzix, Holiday Words Script die. Button and Gold Twine for accents. Designer and Glitter Papers from my stash.
I also made QUICK and EASY Clean And Simple cards. Six of them.
Super easy! I sprayed my Kraft card stock with Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine and then splattered White Craft Paint all over. It's a shimmery snowfall. I hand cut 18 triangles from 3 different Papers/Card Stock and scored down the middle. Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture.
Sentiment from Gina K Designs, Peace And Joy stamped in Black Licorice ink.
Quick. Easy. Complete. If you look closely at the back left one, you'll notice that there is a blizzard happening! Someone was a little heavy handed with the snow! lol
Merry Merry!
Enjoy~~
I love the way the birch trees came out too. Another fab idea. those red cardinals are too sweet and I love that you added the JOY. Great idea for CAS cards. Always need those, and I am so proud of you for leaving them CAS.
