Greetings friends. What do I mean about a fusion holiday card? Well, I combined elements from the Yuletide collection with elements from the brand new Fall Cornucopia collection to create my holiday card. I absolutely love to challenge myself and mix an match my stamp supplies to repurpose them in different ways. Therefore, I decided to used the a holly wreath stencil and some poinsettia dies as a backdrop to my Halloween wreath.
I started with some of the brand new Lavender Bloom cardstock from Memory Box and placed my holly wreath stencil on top. I then sponged Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks on top to form my wreath:
I used black ink to make the leaves look spiky instead of like holly leaves.
Next, I added some cut out poinsettia leaves in purple to add a bit more dimension to the wreath:
It was then time for some embellishments. I added some spooky black spiders and white ghosts. I cut out the ghosts using white cardstock and glued strips of black cardstock behind the eye openings to "color" them:
To finish the card, I added my sentiment in black VersaFine ink and added some black and purple jewels from the Memory Box Autumn Fairy jewel pack. Here is a close up:
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you were inspired to use items usually meant for one holiday and use them for another. There are so many possibilities!
