Hello friends. Can you believe that it's time to kick off another year of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hops with the Art With Heart Team? Surely Christmas is further away than that. But alas, no. So here is my first Christmas card of 2023.
For today's card I have used the So Very Merry stamp set which is one of the Online Exclusives. The image below will take you to the website where you can see all of the Online Exclusives.
I stamped the angel image on Vellum card stock in Stazon Black and then coloured on the REVERSE SIDE with my Blends Markers. If you colour on the front of the image you will smudge the image and end up with Stazon on your Marker, of which neither is good.
I used a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the circles in the front of all three layers together. It only cut through two layers to start with but it made an indentation on the third layer which I could use to cut that layer on it's own. I did it this way so that the holes in all 3 layers lined up perfectly.
The vellum sheet with the image was layered between the Real Red and Lost Lagoon layers. I embossed the top layer, which is Pretty Peacock with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
All of the products used to make this card are available through my online store. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Now it time to see some more Christmas inspiration from my Art With Heart friends. Next hop on our tour is Tina Gillespie.
