Today I am sharing these fun Holly Jolly Christmas Cards. They were super quick and easy to make and they are beautiful!
To make this project you will need some sort of background stamp with a coordinating stencil. I will be using the Winter Foliage set from Pinkfresh Studio. You will also need some inks and blending brushes. The ink colors that I have selected are all from Pinkfresh: Misty Coast, Rocky Slope, Slumber, Stargazer and Coral Reef. You will also need some sort of bold sentiment to get a similar look. I used the Bold Tidings 3 stamp set from Tim Holtz.
I started my project by stamping out the background stamp and the sentiment using versamark ink so that I could heat emboss it with metallic embossing powder. I decided to make 2 cards, so I repeated this process with both silver and gold embossing powders.
Next, I used the coordinating stencils to add color to the stamped image. For the leaves, I started with a lighter shade and then used a smaller brush to add interest by adding a deeper shade near the bottoms of the leaves. I decided to use the grey inks for one leaf stencil and some blue/navy shades for the other leaves. I added coral ink to all of the berries.
Next I trimmed down my card panel to 4×5.25 inches and mounted it to an A2 size card base using some foam tape. I also used my paper trimmer to trim out the sentiment and added it with more foam tape.
