Christmas Skates Card


Hi there!

Just a quick post to show you a simple Christmas card I made using the Celebrate the Season Collection from Heartfelt Creations.





I used the Celebrate the Season Designer Papers for the image block and the purple mat. The skates and leaves were stamped on Solar White with Onyx Black Ink, colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps and die cut with matching dies. The skates were popped for dimension and the leaves were shaped, offset and glued over the skate laces. Before adding the mat to the card I stamped the sentiment using Seedless Preserves Ink.

Here is a picture of the inside of the card.




I used the sentiment from the Gift Wrapped Presents Set for the image, stamping on Solar White with Onyx Black Ink. I colored this with pencils and mineral spirits and trimmed it down. This is matted with turquoise designer paper that was inked with Baja Blue Ink.

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #264-265 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings!
