Hello there crafty friend!
I'm sneaking in another card for the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! I had a fun idea using one of my favorite holiday stamps, The List Guy, from our wonderful Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. and I just HAD to make it!
I ink smooshed my background using Twisted Citron, Evergreen Bough, and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks on Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink. I let it dry completely overnight. I heat embossed the wonderful Christmas All Around Background stamp, also from Unity using Wow Clear Embossing ink and Glory Gold Embossing powder from Stampin' Up. I die cut the background using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I just had to add some splatters. I used Apple Barrel White Acrylic paint and the Mowed Lawn Distress Ink for my splatters. I let it dry and then adhered it using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our wonderful Sponsor Therm O Web to a white A2 top fold card base.
I stamped The List Guy and colored him up with some Copic markers. I fussy cut him on the line except around the fuzzy white parts I left a bit of a white border around those. And then I cut the edges with my Tim Holtz Tonic Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer. I added a bunch of 3D Foam Squares from our wonderful Sponsor Therm O Web and popped Santa up on the card.
Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04
Beard / Fuzzy Trim: C00, C1, C3
Hat / Suit: R20, R14, R46
Belt: N0, N1, N3, N5, Y11, Y15, Y28
It took me a while to decide on a sentiment that would compliment the background and not be too big. I decided to go with the 'Merry Christmas' from the Gotta Love Sentiments, also from Unity. I heat embossed it on Green Parakeet card stock from Papertrey Ink. I also popped it up using the 3D Foam Squares.
I have had SO much fun playing along with the Spring into Christmas 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party! So much fun that I just had to make another card. And I might have one more... it's not quite done yet so I'm not sure if I'll make the deadline. I hope that you'll stop by the Linky Party and check out the cards that have been linked up. Lots of fabulous inspiration!! Don't forget the Linky Party ends at 11:59pm PST tonight. Get those entries in! Have an ink-tastic day!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
See ya next time.
Inky Hugs,
Crystal
