Star of Hope Card

Another Christmas card using mats, stamps and Washi tape along with a diecut.  I started with a 5 x 7 inch white card blank and then cut a slightly smaller matt in white textured card and I rounded the corners with a corner chomper.

Onto this I stamped some distressed spots in red Memento dye ink and the sentiment in the same green ink.  This was matted on foam pads on the card front.

 

Another matt in more white card was then cut and again I rounded the corners.  I chose 5 different Washi tapes in Christmas colours and applied these in stripes over the matt.  I then diecut a snowflake in silver Mirri card and embellished the points with some green self adhesive cabochons.

I wrapped some bakers twine around the top of the matt and tied in a knot, securing at the back with some more tape.  The matt was attached to the card on more foam pads and the snowflake added on a couple more to finish.

What a View ...........

Here we go with another CAS card.  I started with a plain white square card blank 5.5 x 5.5 inches and selected a tree stamp from Wendy Vecchi (Studio 490) and stamped on a slightly smaller matt of white card in Versafine onyz black ink.  This was stuck onto the card front.

I then added a number of coloured pearl cabochons as shown.  The sentiment was also stamped in Versafine ink and trimmed out.  I then rounded the corners and applied on foam pads.  Final touch was to edge the outer card with a wavy line using a Micron pen with a little dot at the corners.

This fits the bill for the Less is More weekly challenge No. 268 whose theme is ' What's outside Your Window'.

Fun Guys ........

Very corny title I know but I couldn't resist using it.

Here are a couple of themed cards I made using the same stamps from Lavinia.  One with colour and the other monochrome.  Both were done in clean and simple style and stamped direct to white card blanks.

On the coloured one I used Versafine onyx black ink for the mushrooms and 'Just For You' sentiment and coloured the spots with Sakura coloured pens, finishing with spots of diamond Stickles glitter glue on top.

The monochrome one was stamped in more Versafine with the sentiment in Memento dove grey dye ink with more Stickles.  I added two strips of decorative tape at the bottom of the card.

I used a corner chomper to round all card edges to finish.
