Okay... ready for my card? First, let me show you the card Michelle made that I'm CASEing:
I know, I know - how do you take a sympathy card and turn it into a
Christmas card? Here's how:
Use similar colors, use a die cut, and well - add a Christmas sentiment!
Here's how that turned out for me...
A similar color palette - I just switched the brown for my favorite grey!
I started by masking off a strip of my card panel to accommodate some gorgeous, blended teal color, and over-stamping with The Greetery's Pretty Postmarks stamps loaded with the grey ink and spritzed with water before stamping on a diagonal.
My die-cuts? One of my favorite Poinsettia's from The Stamp Market 'kissed' with just a touch of Lagoon ink and adding a few pine boughs from HoneyBee's - Winter Greenery. Before putting it all together I gave all my die cuts a spritz of Wplus9's Shimmer spray mist - my homage to Michelle's embellishments!
Last but not least I added a die-cut Christmas sentiment instead of stamping it onto my card base. This one is just one of 12 in the newest sentiment set from Pinkfresh Studio's Basic Banners collection. All of the sentiments are stamped at once, then all are cut at once using the coordinate die. Who doesn't need to save a lot of time while creating Christmas cards? I have pre-made enough for dozens of cards!
