Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I had a job interview in the morning and ended up spending most of the day out of the house.
So this week is another Christmas card which features the classic image of Santa.
- Green and white card
- Swirly embossing folder
- A Santa stamp and a Merry Christmas stamp
- Felt pens (I used a combination of sharpies and colouring pencils)
- Black and embossing ink
- Silver embossing powder
- Clear glitter
- PVA Glue
- Sliver gems
To begin, emboss the green card in the embossing folder and adhere to the card base. Stamp the Santa in black on a piece of white card and colour him in. Mix a small amount of glitter with the glue and gently paint it onto the Santa (I put the glitter along the fluffy edges of his coat and hat). Set aside to dry. Stamp and emboss the Merry Christmas on a strip of the white card and cut a triangle out of one end to make a banner. When the Santa is all dry adhere the white strip with the sentiment behind him with dimensional foam. Place dimensional foam behind the rest of the Santa and regular adhesive behind the sentiment and adhere to the front of the card. Place a few gems on the background because its for Christmas and Christmas is supposed to sparkle.
And there you have it! It is quite an easy card as it doesn't contain many elements, but the colouring can take a long time and the drying of the glitter/glue mix just adds to the time taken. I still think its cute though, what do you think? Let me know by commenting, don't be shy!
