Hi Everyone, number 1 of my DT makes today is for -
With Christmas on the horizon, my card today is a - Yep! You've guessed, a Christmas card. I went looking through my files, as I have a mass of digital stamps. I found this lovely image and decided to use it. Then took it into Silhouette to cut it out, no fussy cutting for me, as you well know. I cut 3 layers, then using inks I coloured the top layer, next I added sparkle pen to the snow in the image.
It was only then I thought about a design, I looked through some sketches I have saved, and decided this one from Atlantic Hearts could be adapted to suit.
I cut a layer to add to the base card, then lightly drew the oval, onto the base card, to blend it. After blending, I placed the layer on top, but didn't like the plainness, so used a snow embossing folder, then attached it to the base card. The image was 3D'd over the oval. I found a die sentiment that fitted into the space, backing it with red card. I'm quite pleased how it turned out
Very sweet pair of Robins Faith, they really pop against all the white space. The silhouette sentiment strops very effective.
