Is it too early for Christmas - By Zoe

Good morning Lovelies, I hope you all had a lovely Easter, wasn’t the weather superb?

So for my first post this month I have created a couple of CAS Christmas cards and a couple of colourful cards with the fantastic trees stamps the were featured on Hochanda last month, I hope you managed to catch our fab Lesley and Judith? 

I used Linen textured cardstock for my 2 Christmas cards, first one folded and diecut with a large tag die, second creating a frame with a stitched edge nesting die.

I used torn paper and a circle mask with shades of grey inkpads, stamping using greys tones too, I finished off with some chunky Embossing powder to give some texture and create a snow effect.

I used Watercolour Card which I sprinkled with Brusho’s, sprayed with spray starch, sprinkled with fine glitter, wrapped in wrinkled up cling film and left to dry.

 I stamped using Versafine Claire inkpads in Nocturn and Chianti, first and second generation to create some perspective, the very top image I added a clear sparkle Embossing powder and heat embossed, then using a stencil and the Chianti inkpad I created hills, repeat stamped the sentiment for more texture over the hills.

My final card I used Linen textured cardstock and a nesting tag die. I simply brayered neon acrylic paints in a very random fashion, whilst still slightly wet I used a starburst type stencil from my stash and a damp cloth removed some of the paint, simple stamping and some chunky EP for texture.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, have a wonderful day xx Zoe xx
