Hello everyone. I'm on the Doodlebugs blog today for Mix it Up Monday, the last Christmas one of the year. I'm sure most everyone is wrapping up holiday crafting and ready to move on with other things but I really wanted to share this card with you all. It's so sweet and was therapeutic to color the images and pull it all together.
I started off with a bundle of images from the Mama Elephant Little Agenda Sweets set. I stamped and watercolored them, then after they dried I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I saved the window the die cuts out and glued it to my gingerbread guy for continuity in my scene. Otherwise it's pretty straight forward.
Next I cut the Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Circle from teal cardstock and a scrap of white for some snowy ground. I used liquid glue to adhere them together and a combo of liquid glue and foam tape to adhere my images to that.
Next I took a piece of white cardstock and embossed it with the Spellbinders Peppermint Stripes embossing folder. To add color, I drug the Lawn Fawn cilantro ink pad lightly across the panel going in the direction with the stripes (at an angle) until it had the coverage I wanted. I used liquid glue to adhere it to a card base and added my circle scene with foam tape to that.
Last, I cut a sentiment banner from the Mama Elephant Winter Banners die set. I inked the top layer with pink, glued the layers together and popped it up with foam strip. For finishing touches I just tied some fun peppermint twine around the left side of the card and tied it in a cute little bow.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
