Hi
there, as this is my last post before the big day at the weekend, I have a card
to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas featuring a rather cute Bentley in his
Santa hat.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Bentley, Beki
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics – Green Gold, Yellow Green Light, Metallic Gold
Glitter
Card
Kraft
Card Blank
Recipe:
My
green paper actually came from my bits box and was made by swiping the green
and gold paints over a thin sheet of A4 card with an old credit card, carrying
on until I was happy with the effect.
I
used the snowflake stencil with the Versamark ink to apply a pattern to my
green and gold paper, heat embossing the snowflakes with white powder. I also
added some swipes with the inkpad, which I embossed with the white powder. I
then distressed the edges and added the paper to the card blank.
I
stamped Bentley on stamping card with the black ink and coloured him with
watercolour pencils, trimming the image to a rectangular panel. I stamped the
Santa hat on a scrap of card, coloured with watercolour pencils and cut out
leaving a fairly thick border, which I painted grey. The thicker border ensured
that The hat would cover up Bentley’s top whiskers.
I
next stamped the wish text directly on the image panel, and then added it to a
mat of glitter card. I glued the panel on to the card blank to finish.
I
hope you all have a really lovely Christmas and will see you next year when
That’s Crafty! has some great things in store for you.
It’s
also the start of our last challenge for the year over at That’s Crafty! Challenge Blog so don’t forget to check it out at 8am.
