It's decidedly not very Christmassy here in Adelaide today ..... lots of rain and thunder & lightning ..... the last thing our river system needs right now.
Here is another of my latest Christmas Cards to be sent out. Final food shopping has been done and I hope I don't have to go out to the shops again until after Christmas Day/Boxing Day.
Once again, the Christmas Craft Creations current Challenge
theme of 'Gnomes' provided a starting point for my card.
The Sparkles Christmas Challenge of 'non traditional colours' influenced my colouring and cardstock choices.
I stamped one of the Gnome images from Stampendous Holiday Gnomes and hand coloured
with copics, then die cut twice and layered.
I then stamped the sentiment repeatedly and multiple times to form a backdrop and mounted die cut image with foam dots
and some blingy holographic snowflake stickers added straight onto cardbase. Using the Couture Creations Precision Stamp Press made easy work of stamping the sentiments to get a nice clean impression before repositioning the cardstock for the next level. This makes for a 'non-bulky' card that is great for putting in the mail.
Cheers!
