It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week is an "Anything Goes" week for the TFS team. Since it's getting towards the winter holidays, I've made another Christmas card, this time featuring the fabulous Miss Dee, who is decorating her tree with style!
Here's my card!
My first step was to do a whole lotta stamping using Copic-friendly black ink onto white cardstock. I stamped Miss Dee, her Santa Hat, and the bottle from the HoliDEE Clear Stamp Set #947, two gift wagons from the Holiday Fox Clear Stamp Set #607, the couch from the Have A Seat Clear Stamp Set #461, and the cat from the Caturday Clear Stamp Set #477. I also stamped the throw pillows from the Have A Seat Clear Stamp Set #461 onto patterned paper by Craft Consortium.
When all the images were stamped, it was time to fussy-cut them, color them, and edge them with a black pen. BTW, I trimmed the presents from the gift wagons from the Holiday Fox Clear Stamp Set #607, White gel pen was used to add highlights to the reflective elements such as Miss Dee's festive bauble earrings, her boots, the Christmas lights, the bottles, and the drinks glasses. All the colored, fussy-cut elements were set aside while I created a background for them. The cat napped and Miss Dee nipped at the martini. All were happy.
I cut a piece of white 8.5" x 11" cardstock to 6.625" by 5.625", then trimmed 1" off the bottom. That piece was inked with brown ink, then lines were added to make that strip look like a wood floor. However, I messed up and it's now a brown tile floor. Oh well.
Premier Blending Tool and Premier Blending Sponges by Hunkydory Craft were used to apply light blue ink to the remaining 6.625" x 4.625" piece of white cardstock to create a background panel. This was sprayed with isopropyl alcohol to blend and lighten the color. When dry, the same blue ink was sponged over the Dynamic Stencil by Lavinia Stamps onto the panel to create a tone on tone pattern. The 1" strip of wood/tile was adhered to the base of the background panel.
Vellum was adhered to a piece of the same patterned paper I used to stamp the pillows. Black solvent ink was used to stamp "Cheers" from the HoliDEE Clear Stamp Set #947 and "Merry Christmas" from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set #608 onto the vellum covered patterned paper. A black ampersand (&) rub on was added between the two sentiments. The sentiment was die-cut with a sentiment frame die set which was also used to cut red cardstock.
Miss Dee, her Santa Hat, the couch, the throw pillows, the cat, both sets of gifts, and the very CHEERful Christmas Tree were adhered to the background panel, which was matted with white cardstock (unevenly, which is my special gift), and adhered to a red 7" x 5" card. Framed sentiment die-cut was adhered to finish the card.
