Holiday Love

So its finally gotten a little cold here in Southern Texas (well at least for a couple of days we’ve had to wear light coats) and its starting to feel a little more like the holiday season. I’ve pulled out my holiday stamps and have started to create Christmas cards with the hopes of sending out some homemade love.

I recently bought this set Holiday Love set from the Ton and am loving creating some special Christmas Cards for my family and friends.

For my first card, I stamped the image in Versamark ink on Bristol Smooth paper and heat embossed it in The Ton’s Rose Gold Embossing powder. I water colored the image with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I then took the coordinating die and used it on some navy card stock.

I lined my image up with the card stock and glued the image to the back and covered the panel with with some more navy card stock so you couldn’t see the white panel. I added the sentiment from the same set and embossed it in the rose gold. To finish the card I added some rose gold sequins.

For my second and third card, I stamped the image on some of the same navy card stock with Versamark ink. I white heat embossed one and the other I dusted with Perfect Pearls.

I  then used my colored pencils on both of them. I love the look of the pencils on dark card stock.

I finished each of my cards with Merry Christmas sentiment from The Ton’s Holiday Flourishes. I added some sparkly washi tape to each and some Nuvo drops to finish.

Hope your holiday crafting is going well!
