Christmas card

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have another Christmas card. I have as usual used Tim Holtz products. 

On this card I have used Tami B’s iron off technique on the Christmas tree. 

First I inked my craft mat with Evergreen bough DI, spritzed with some water and dipped the card (Watercolor cardstock). Then heat set with my heat tool. Then stamped the tree from CMS476 Winter woodlands with Distress embossing ink and put on clear embossing powder. Then heated with my embossing tool. Now the embossing works as a resist. 

For the next step I stamped the other stamp with the pinecones and things with Ground espresso Archival ink. Then I used my Mica spray stains to make the blue background. Then I ironis off the clear embossing powder. 

Next I used the THS115 stencil, Falling stars, and Grit paste Snowfall. 

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine and inked the edges with Distress ink Ground espresso. 

I then embossed the text stamp with black embossing powder. 

I inked a piece of Watercolor cardstock with Pumice stone DI and stamped the ”Christmas tree advert” stamp with DI Lumberjack plaid. Used my Tiny attacher to attach the piece to a velvet ribbon. 

I attached the card to a piece of Kraft cardstock with 3D adhesive. The Kraft card are also inked on the edges with DI Ground espresso. Then finally mounted to a white cardstock card, which also got inked edges.

I will try this card over at Simon says stamp Monday Challenge  - Let it snow.

Thank you for visiting,
