I have been looking at a few sites to challenge myself to make more Christmas cards.
It has been working! I have about 4 now (ha ha). I think I’d better hurry up and start mass producing a few!
I got the sketch for this card from Stamping 411. It is another great, simple design, you should check out their site for challenges and helpful tutorials.
I was also inspired by a new site Inkspirations challenges. Their challenge was a colour challenge, to use Real red, Old olive, kraft (crumb cake) and white. Their design team are SO talented, you should check out their work!
I decided to combine both these challenges to make my Dasher card.
Ingredients :
Stamps : confetti, occasional greetings, dasher, winter post
Card : kraft (crumb cake), real red, old olive, whisper white
Ink : crumb cake, versamark
Other : white embossing powder, clear embossing powder, old olive dsp (retired), ribbon (misteltoe), build a brad, circle punch
I clear embossed the little “snowflake” stamp from the confetti set on the real red (it hasn’t shown well in the photo but looks very pretty) and clear embossed dasher too. I embossed the saying in white.
Hope you’ve managed to make a few more Christmas card than me!
