My goodness me!
This post has just been a horrible series of “mishaps”
I had saved it to “autopost” yesterday
but I selected the wrong month
when I realised it was not posted
I was playing around and by total MISTAKE deleted
everything I had written!
…….
I tried everything to get it back but its gone!
…..
Anyway, this is part one of my
Yesterday when this post should have been
posted it marked Christmas was 12 weeks to the day away.
…..
As scary as that sounds I will help you
out with some of creative Christmas ideas
so every Wednesday I will be posting a
new project based on a theme or used a selected Stamp Set.
…..
To start with I have used my favorite stamp set
from the Holiday Catalogue
……
Santa’s List
Please not the clear mount is on back order until November
I suggest ordering Wood Mount so you can use it now to create
if you LOVE this stamp set, don’t delay in ordering.
…..
I think it is a great value stamp set,
I am a huge fan of a classic looking Santa,
and I like that you can watercolour him as I have
or he still looks amazing stamped in one tone.
…..
As I said I have watercoloured this image
I stamped the image on watercolour paper
and used a Blender Pen with re-inker for the colouring.
….
Crumb Cake on the “halo” around Santa
and to lightly highlight the “fur” on his suit and hair.
For the skin I have used Pink Pirouette mixed
with a little Crumb Cake.
His suit is Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso for highlights.
…..
This shot shows I have two layers of Santa
to add depth when you look front at the card.
…..
You can also see that the card is a step style,
I am a fan of “fancy fold” kind of cards.
I see this card as something that the person who
receive’s it would want to display proudly in their home.
…..
If you are interested in learning more about this card?
I am teaching this card as my technique class for the next month
If you are in Sydney, contact me to book a date or find out
the locations and times for classes dates.
If you are order the supplies needed make this card,
you will receive bonus information to help
you create this and other projects using this set.
