Method

Using your turnabout, and 4 different inks make up your background. If unsure Concord and 9th have an amazing youtube channel where you can see how to achieve this.

Stamp and Emboss your sentiment in silver on to the vellum.

Using a acrylic block tear your vellum around the sentiment, leave it long enough to wrap around your background design. 

Before attaching to your card front, use a little glue to fix the vellum at the back of your stamped piece.

Then attach and add your , die cuts (I used snow flakes) and sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog,i'm intending to do this design in a few more colour tones for my own cards this year. 

Stay Safe, and Happy Crafting

METHOD

Line up your stamp in your Misti or straight on to a block or glass mat. 

Then stamp the background on to your neenah card stock.

Give this a minute to dry why you choose your embellishments. There's so many little iconic dies  to choose from.

I used gold thread to add to these so they looked like they were hanging.

Before attaching them, stamp out your greeting and using a paper trimmer cut to the size you would like.

As these are so easy I'm sure you could make 5-10 in a crafty session. 

Next week i'm back with some more Christmas fun in the form of a turn -a - bout. also i'll little iconic dies will be back.

Take Care and Happy Stamping

But I then decided to make 10 special cards for family and close friends. This makes the whole process much more enjoyable as some of the stamps and dies are just darling to use.

So today we kick of the theme with this scene card , using the latest release from Concord and 9th.
