Hello, Everyone, and Happy Monday to you. Hope you all have had a great weekend. I spent most of mine laying around and trying to recuperate from having sinus/allergy problems. Thankful that I went to the doctor on Thursday so I was at least a little better for the weekend.
I have cards to share that were made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Horse and Sleigh. I think this set and the Light of the World set will be my Christmas card choice this year.
For my first card I started off using pattern paper that I got in a 12 X 12 Recollections Guilded Paper pad. This paper is really pretty and has several colors in it. I started out by stamping my Horse and Sleigh image with Versamark along with Black embossing powder. I used my Heidi Pettie Cloud tencil and turquoise ink to make the clouds in the background. My last step was adhering a Merry Christmas sticker that is written in gold. This was a quick and easy Christmas card.
My second card was made by stamping the Mountain Scene image on white card stock. I then stamped in the horse and sleigh. The sky was made using the Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and Distress inks. I colored the water using a Copic Marker.
This is a bonus card, I was having such a good time with this stamp set, I couldn't stop with just two. The paper pad had a sheet of paper that had some 4 X 4 squares on it. Here is one that I decide to stamp the horse and sleigh on. I had some leftover pieces of embossed paper and some icicles that I decided to use, I need to get some of that stuff on some cards. :). This card had the same detail on stamping as the first card. Thanks, so much, for coming by to see me today. Have a great week.

These are amazing, I was sure you used alcohol inks, I have a pad of paper I just bought that looks like alcohol inks, excited to play with it. You make some fab7 cards that you would never guess are on patterned paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks, so much. I love making backgrounds, but I also ike finding dp that makes them look like I spent a lot of time making them. :). Paper like this sure saves a crafter a lot of time.
DeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS cards, love how you did each one, so many things going on in each background. Super cards Shirley.

I love how you enhanced the gorgeous paper with the clouds on your first amazing card. Such a peaceful and beautiful winter scene on card number two and the addition of the icicles on your last card is perfect. Three stunners Shirley x.

All these cards are absolutely mesmerizing!!! LOVE how you enhanced the DP with sponging and also changing the background stamp you used in the second card - how FUN this stamp is - no wonder you did a bonus card!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Shirley how beautiful!! I love the sleigh image and all the scenes you've set it in. The background on the first cards has such gorgeous colours, and I love the mountains in the second and third cards, all beautifully designed, Kate x
