So here is the first of my Christmas cards for this year. I know, bit late, but I tend to make 6 of each card and keep it simple - ish...
I started with a digital image, printed out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock from Crafters Companion. I have no idea where I got the image from, cos I've had it for ages. All I can say is I think it's called "The King".
Having had a lovely time colouring with my Copic markers, I stuck the image to a blank made from a 10.5cm x 29cm piece of 300 gsm cardstock scored at 14.5cm, using double sided tape.
I cut an oval aperture from a piece of 10cm x 14cm cardstock and embossed it with an Embossalicious embossing folder, them mounted it onto the card using 1mm foam tape.
Tim Holtz dies "Holiday Greens" provided the holly and pine I used to embellish the card, which I cut up to frame the aperture and provide the two leaves for the tiny tag. The tiny red gems are Papermania, the greeting is one of a digi set from Lili of the Valley.
That just left a bow made from some silver embroidery thread to finish off the greeting, and there we are!
It sounds like a pretty quick process, coming up with a card design, but it actually took me 3 days!!
Now for the next one, I'll try and remember to make a note of exactly what I used in a more organised fashion.
See you later,
