Welcome everyone! I am sharing another holiday card with you this week. Have you started on your holiday cards yet? Now is a great time to get started as there is a lot of inspiration to by had on all of the Memory Box blogs. It will be one less thing to cross off your list as the holidays approach. I know I have plans to make some handmade gifts this year, so getting my holiday cards done early is always a relief.
The stamps used for my project this week are, Reindeer Silhouette & Night Before clear set. I also used Christmas Jewel stickers & papers from the Spiceberry 6x6 paper pack. The base of the card is a Scalloped card from the Soiree Collection in Celery. In this first photo, I have the paper pieces cut & ready to assemble. If you enlarge the photo, you will get all of the measurements you need for each piece of paper used. I added Christmas Jewel stickers to each of the flourish images & to the nose of the reindeer.
The Reindeer Silhouette was stamped onto the Spiceberry paper with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate. I sponged the edges of that Spiceberry paper with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. The flourish image from the Night Before clear set was stamped onto Cranberry card stock using VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink. I sponged the edges of this piece using VersaMagic Sahara Sand & Jumbo Java. The larger piece of Spiceberry paper was edged with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink.
Next is a close up photo of some of the detail from the finished project. I added a piece of Adhesive Ribbon from DCWV & threaded some green & brown buttons with white Scrappers Floss & adhered to the card. I think the buttons give a bit of a "shabby" look.
Last, but not least, the completed project.
I hope you have enjoyed my project this week. I look forward to sharing more next Tuesday!
