I started with a top-folded Kraft Core'dinations card that I stamped with Snow Cap Paint using Tim's wood grain stamp. I cut an opening in the front using the Sizzix Mini Baroque Movers and shapers die. I stamped the angel on the front and back of a piece of acetate using Stazon and adhered it behind the opening. I created a frame from chipboard using the mini and large Baroque dies and then painted it with Picket Fence crackle paint and adhered it over the opening.
Inside the card, I added a piece of white cardstock that was cut with the Baroque die, embossed, and then inked lightly with Antique Linen Distress ink. The front was trimmed with Silver Tinsel Twine, Crinkle Ribbon, and the new Festive Foliage.
I stamped the sentiment onto kraft cardstock, trimmed it closely, and adhered it to the card with pop dots. Speaking of sentiments, Inspiration Emporium's monthly challenge is 'Joyful Creations'. We're dedicating this month's challenge to IE's general manager, Joy, who is one of the sweetest people I know! I hope you can join us. For all the details, check out this post.

You really inspire me to take each piece a little bit further, with paints, stamps and textures. I forget how much they can add to the richness of a piece. The way you layer things together is perfection.

The acetate was a brilliant use...love the two views! Gorgeous make! So elegant and Christmas vintage!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the acetate idea, I think my stamps will look better than stamping right onto the embossed part of the card stock. I love the framed image on your tag, the wood is so pretty. I have some new things to try out, thank you!
