Pinspiration: Christmas

Today I share a card with you that is inspired by a card

I saw on Pinterest.  And I love  the endresult, for I am

sure I am going to make a few more of these. I am a fan

of  kraft look.

For the background I stamped the semtiment with

vintage distress ink . Then I stamped the sentiment 

on a seperate piece of kraft paper  in black.

Next  a piece of musical paper (SU!) is cut of 2,5"x 5,5"

and glued to the background.

On a piece of white paper Michael Strongs middle size

Christmas Tree is stamped with peeled paint distress

ink and cut out with an oval die.

Then I cut a piece of vellum with a slightly larger

oval die and used a snow embossingfolder.

First i taped the christmas trees on the card

and next the piece of vellum on top.

The kast thing i added was the sentiment.

This sentiment is one of my favorites.

It is from an old SU! set called Sassy Salutations

(not available anymore :-( ).

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Technique of the month: Stained Glass

On the Club Scrap Blog,the technique of this month

is Stained Glass. well, there are several ways to do this and 

Lisa is showing you several ways to do this.

Papers,sentiment and script background stamp

are all from  Club Scrap's last month Paris Flea market kit.

For both my cards I used the vellum method:

Stamp the image on vellum with versamark

and emboss with black embossing powder.

Then I cut out the flower.

Turned it over and colored the flower on the backside

with distress markers.

I did the same with the leaves.

The flower and the leave stampare from 

Club Scraps Aprilkit called Dahlia.

For this birthday card i used the same technique with

vellum for the flower,but as i wanted a more happier card

I colored the background with colorburst.

The sentiment is also from the Dahlia kit.

Here you see the colors I used to create this background.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!
