We have another lovely Inspiration Board from Hand Stamped Sentiments for you this week. I took my inspiration from the top right hand corner and the tree and the baubles. I liked the fact that it seemed to be a little bit out of focus so I used that to make a soft watercolour effect on my card.
I used stamps from Tim Holtz old set CMS322 called Christmas Classic. As well as tthe lovely Santa image in this set which is the one I always seem to use it has some lovely foliage stamps which can sometimes get overlooked so I decided they needed a chance to shine.
I used Versafine Ink in Morning Mist which is a soft grey to stamp the images then used some Tim Holtz Distress Oxides to colour in the holly and the berries. I used a very soft wash of Tim Holtz Evergreen Bough around all the stamping and part way down the card.
The bauble stamp is an old one from Gina K Designs called Season of Joy which just suited this perfectly. I stamped it in Tim Holtz Archival in Mermaid Lagoon. The other sentiment is also Tim Holtz Tiny Text. I covered the card with a few splatters of white gesso and added some sparkle from Spectrum Noir glitter pen - as it's Christmas lol!
I'm adding this into the following challenges -
