I am back again today with a dreamy Christmas card! I used non-traditional colors and the mind blowing stamps designed by Lynne Perrella-Paper Artsy. The Paper Artsy Stamps are available in the USA at Blockheads Paper Arts! I used markers and stains to make the background for my card.
size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Materials need to make the background and the card:
Inks:
Markers:
Stains: Brushed Pewter Distress Stain
Cardstock:
White, Cream, and Aqua
Green Ribbon
Rhinestones
Click here for instructions on making the Background Paper.
- Make background following Tutorial. Instead of using the reinkers, scribble the Distress Markers onto the craft sheet.
- Add a bit of water.
- Proceed per tutorial instructions.
- When background is dry stamp the buildings with Black Soot ink
- Stamp the Madonna on a separate piece of White CS and cut out.
- Color the halo with the Memento Markers.
- Run a Metallic pen around the edges of the halo.
- Glue Madonna to background
- Make slits in this piece at the halo edges. Feed the ribbon through the slits
- Add this piece to a Aqua Card base
- Add rhinestones
