Tremendous Triangles

Hello and welcome!!

For today's post I'm sharing a clean & simple holiday card, featuring geometrics shapes and non- traditional holiday colors.

I've used a stamp set from Whimsy Stamps called Tremendous Triangles, it has three different sizes of triangles and I've used the smallest ones to create my holiday trees. I stamped them using dye inks and then I used Distress inks for the splatters. The sentiment was stamped using gray ink.

I just love these colors and how this card turned out. Hope you like it too!

Here's my card...

Christmas Candlelight

Hello and welcome!!

For today's post I made a Christmas card, which is clean & simple, and one layer.

I used the stamp named Christmas Candlelight from Elizabeth Craft Designs, and colored it with colored pencils. The sentiment was stamped with black ink and then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. I mixed gesso and a bit of water for the white splashes.

Here's my card...

Guest Designer - Inkspirational Challenge #124

Hello and welcome!!

I'm honored and excited to be the Guest Designer for Inkspirational Challenge #124.

This week is a Color challenge using Neutrals Only

My project for this challenge is a Christmas card using the colors: gray and white.

Here is my card...

As this is a Christmas card, I needed to add a bit of sparkle, so the ribbon was the perfect touch.

I love how this card turned out, so I used this design for my Christmas cards 2016.

I made them in red and green, and they look as pretty as the gray version.

Here's a look...

 

How to make this card:
1. Form a card base from gray cardstock and stamp the stars using white pigment ink.
2. Die cut a stitched rectangle panel and heat embossed the sentiment and the tree.
3. Adhere the ribbon to the stitched panel and the die cut star to the tree.
4.Adhere the panel to the card base with foam adhesive.
