Hi stampers, I'm back with week 3 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every Monday at 8pm until the 28th of November the Art With Heart Team will be participating in a Christmas themed blog hop featuring only Stampin' Up! products.
For this week's card I am using the Decorated With Happiness Bundle and the Celebrate Everything DSP pack, which is available as a hostess reward in the July to December Mini Catalogue.

I started with a Stitched Rectangle die cut and stamped the three baubles at various heights in Memento Jet Black Ink. I coloured the baubles with Blends Markers in the colours listed below. This layer is matted on a larger Stitched Rectangle piece in Real Red.

I cut the pine branch from the Decorated Pines Dies from Shaded Spruce cardstock and attached it above the baubles.

I chose this colourful stripy sheet of DSP as my card background. These colours are not traditional Christmas colours but I think they are suited to these fun, sketched style baubles.

The greeting is stamped in Real Red and cut out using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Die set.

I really love the way you have teamed that gorgeous striped DSP with this fun whimsical Christmas stamp set Rachel! What a great combination!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun colour combination, and use of stamps and papers, Rachel. The die cut pine bough is perfect for hanging the funky baubles from. Delightful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice of background DSP for your fun card! The baubles look fab hanging from your bough.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun and vibrant card, Rachel. I know these are "non traditional" Christmas colours but I agree with you that they are really suited to the fun, sketched style of the baubles.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous bright and cheery card to showcase these baubles - great colouring! Rachel I love the addition of the pine branch to hang your baubles from.
