Our creations for the week...
This week our Ladies and Gentlemen made two beautiful Christmas cards. The Christmas Tree stamp used as the main theme of each of the cards were taken from John Lockwood's 'Element Stamp Set - Holly Tree Elements'.
The trees were stamped onto the card using Perfect Medium, then embossing them with Cosmic Shimmer Detail Embossing Powder - Bright Gold (CE-CSDEPGOLD). Our Ladies and Gentlemen stamped onto black card first, creating almost a 'silhouette' effect. For the second card, the tree was stamped onto white card and embossed. It was then filled in using Distress Inks as watercolours. 'Fired Brick' (PI-TIM20202) and 'Peeled Paint' (PI-TIM20233) were the colours used to create this effect.
Couture Creations Embossing Folder - Twiggy Christmas (CE-EFC0723881) and Xcut 6x6 Embossing Folder - Poinsettia Pattern (DO - XCU 515906) were used for the backgrounds.
Using the de-embossed side of the card, both backgrounds were created by using Cosmic Shimmer Textured Sparkle Paste in colour 'Warm Gold'. Against the green and black card, the Sparkle Paste creates a wonderfully 'Christmassy' effect.
Ribbon and Dazzlers were used to embellish. The examples shown above are Gingham Ribbon 7mm- Red, Organza Ribbon 15mm - White (W-RIB01) and Creative Expressions Gold Mixed Dazzlers 18mm (12PK) .
We hope you enjoyed our cards from our workshop this week.
