With 5 minutes to spare, I present to you Week 7 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards! I wanted a Pink & Black set of cards, so the Ornamental Christmas bundle was perfect.
I colored the black/white panels with my Pretty in Pink Dark Stampin' Blend marker...I would not recommend using a regular Stampin' Write marker or the ink pad because those are both water-based and any moisture on fingers or hands handling the cards will cause ink to come off on to those fingers or hands. So, alcohol-marker is best for this use.
I used the retired Merry Melody embossing folder for some interest on that layer, but you could use any embossing folder that goes with the feel of this card.
I also used the Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blends (both dark and light) to color in the trees, then hand-cut them. Run the a clear shimmer pen all over the trees too.
Paper Measurements:
- Pretty in Pink: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
- Pretty in Pink: 4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Merry Melody folder
- Modern Christmas DSP: 3" x 5 1/4"
- Pretty in Pink: 2 1/2" circle
- Basic White: 2 1/4" circle
- Basic White: scraps to stamp and hand-cut tree
I had some old Pink Pirouette Taffeta ribbon that mostly went with the colors. Finish off with some Strawberry Slush and Pretty ink Pink gems.
