Season Like Christmas

Here’s one of the cards that I recently offered at a “come and make some cards quickly” event. I myself managed to make some too whilst helping everyone with carding and cake. Oh yes, there are always cake or cookies at my classes. This uses most of the tree from Season Like Christmas – it’s a three stamp but I only used 2 for the tree.

Although there are 4 stamps to be stamped, it’s still quick to make. First use the soft suede for the trunk and then stamp off the old olive and stamp the full tree, then add the detail with full strength old olive. To finish add the grassy bank – some of mine were full strength, some weren’t. Then I put that onto a piece of old olive to give it a border but after the fact wondered about soft suede so tried that too.

For the background it’s a piece of Merry Little Christmas DSP on a thick whisper white base. Easy to carve up a sheet of 12 by 12 into 6 background pieces and then make up half a dozen cards quickly.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
