Welcome to Week 4 of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern.
Finally my preorder has arrived and I have managed to have a play with some of the gorgeous new goodies for this week's blog hop. I've gone with a traditional colour combination of Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.
A piece of white card that has been stamped using the Sketched Plaid background stamp and Real Red ink has been adhered to the Real Red card base. I have then embossed a piece of Graceful Greenery Vellum using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing folder and carefully adhered this to the Sketched Plaid background being careful where to place the glue.
Each of the trees from the Peaceful Evergreen stamp set were stamped in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow and then die cut using the dies from the Peaceful Evergreen dies. These were then adhered to the vellum.
Using White and Real Red card for the definition, the word Christmas was die cut using the Peaceful Season dies. For the word "Merry" it was stamped in Versamark and embossed in White and then also die cut.
Some Real Red and White Bakers Twine was wrapped around the top of the card and a bow also adhered. Trick- another place to adhere the glue to the vellum without being seen!
I've coloured a few Iridescent Pearls using a Real Red Stampin Blend and added a star die cut using some of the Cherry Cobbler Glimmer paper.
As the card base is Real Red, I've added a piece of White card die cut using one of the Deckled Rectangles and stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Season in Real Red and some trees from Peaceful Evergreen in Old Olive.

Gorgeous! I love what you have done with the vellum to create the illusion of snow. You have created a really pretty scene! I love the Peaceful Evergreen stamp set. It's on my desk so this is very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteTheresa your embossed Graceful Greenery Vellum looks amazing adhered to the Sketched Plaid background. I love this classic Christmas colour combination!
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the subtly embossed vellum over the top of the stamped plaid background, T. It gives candy cane vibes ... and the colours in the Sketched Plaid card panel co-ordinate beautifully with the twine. Love this card, and all the beautiful details. How gorgeous are those sentiment stamps and dies?!
ReplyDeleteTheresa, that background is totally amazing. My eyes were immediately drawn to it and how you created it. The trees and sentiment are lovely too, but that background, wow!!
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous Theresa, I love the background. I love that you have stamped the plaid and then used the Graceful Greenery Vellum and embossed it with the Snowflake Sky 3D so gorgeous! It all creates a beautiful background for your trees and sentiment. Love your card!
