We're definitely on the official countdown to Christmas - are you excited yet?! We don't have our tree up yet but I've loved seeing the places I frequent getting all their festive décor up! Christmas is also my favourite occasion to create cards for - I get a chance to play with all different styles, colour combos, supplies and more! For today's card I kept it simple, classy and classic:
Beautiful, right?
I dusted off an older stamp set from Altenew called Bountiful Branch. I didn't get a chance to play with it when I first got it so it was like playing with something new again! Altenew are so well known for their layering stamp sets and this beauty is no exception! I stamped the leaves and branches using coloured inks, but when it came to the berries I used my Versamark inkpad to stamp the images before heat embossing them an off-white and a gold embossing powder to make a glitzy version of mistletoe. So pretty!
I painted a light wash of white paint over the card front to tone down the colour a bit before spritzing on the Glimmer Mist, adding some splatter then stamping my sentiment. I even dug out some packs of sequins for a little finishing touch!
I'd love to hear what you think of this creation. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!
