Yesterday I shared the “surprise” background I got from coloring a Square Vellum Doily using the upcoming Blending Brushes. Today I am sharing the card I was trying to make at the time. It has a few of the same elements of yesterday’s card, but looks totally different. Consider this as a “2 for 1” idea.
Looking at this card now, it’s sort of hard to see the doily and compare to yesterday. In case you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it HERE. I have gone from clean and simple to many layers!
I wanted a lot of texture on this card. I used the Square Vellum Doily, although I have it positioned as a diamond, and colored it with the Blending Brushes using Cherry Cobbler Ink. I also punched three ornaments from the Red and Green Foil sheets using the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack. This is two different size ornaments.
I also added the ornament from the Tag Buffet Stamp Set. I stamped it in Cherry Cobbler Ink and colored it with Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. The “believe” is stamped in Cherry Cobbler also.
The background is a piece of the Green Foil that I embossed using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. For more texture, I added a piece of the Wonder Of The Season Designer Series Paper underneath everything. The finishing touch is the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon made into a huge double bow. I wanted a bit of layering and dimension and definitely achieved that! This is not a card to be mailed however due to the bow.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and come back on Monday for another new project.
