For my second post this morning I have another Christmas card. This one I made following the theme challenge for the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. This week's challenge is to use red, green and white, those wonderful, traditional Christmas colors. I love the cookies in their inspiration picture too. Yum!
The stamp set is from Concord & 9th and it's at least one year old, maybe two. Old enough to comply with the challenge rules, regardless. I love the stitched look of this set. The background is stamped using Hero Unicorn craft ink and heat embossed with white EP on some Taylored Expressions deep red card stock. The sentiment panel is stamped with SU Real Red and Call Me Clover ink and cut out using a SU die. The holly leaves are Concord & 9th dies. I didn't bring any Call Me Clover card stock so I blended the ink onto Whisper White using a blending brush and cut out the holly leaves and used the rest to layer with. The bow and enamel dots are also SU.
Here is the inside of the card. This is another Concord & 9th set from last year called Merry and Bright.
Have a great day and thanks,
Colleen

ReplyDeleteWhat a warm and cosy look! Perfect for a wintery Christmas. I like that your holly leaves are flat as it makes a great contrast with the busy stitching behind. Very cute bow too. Thanks for playing along with us again at Retro Rubber Challenge, Colleen.
