Be Merry Festive Friends Card

Hi Everyone,
Can you believe the holidays are just 5 days away? Just yesterday it was a few months away. Today’s card is using the Festive Friends stamp set from My Favourite Things which I hope will inspire you. Below are the steps to create your own card. 



Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 11” x 4 1/4”, score at 5 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Stamp Gauze Background using Versamark. Sprinkle White Satin Pearl Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool. Apply Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire starting from the bottom working your way up. Remove excess ink with a microfiber cloth. This will remove the ink from on top of the embossed areas. Apply the same inks onto an acrylic block and add some water. Using a waterbrush splash it onto the panel. Place the panel in a Splatbox and spray White Iridescent Shimmer. Let dry.

Step 3 - Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles using the panel created from Step 2.

Step 4 - Diecut Cloud Borders (x2) using White Cardstock. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 - Diecut Stitched Hillside Borders (x2) using White Cardstock. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 6 - Stamp Festive Friends sentiment on the bottom left side of panel using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. Adhere the whole panel to the card front using Fun Foam and Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 7 - Stamp Festive Friends using Gina K Amalgam Ink for friendly Alcohol Marker colouring. Colour in images with any Alcohol Marker of your choice. I used Spectrum Noir Classique Markers. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive for right snowman and Foam Tape for the rest.

Step 8 - For added interest and sparkle apply Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle over the snowmen and snowball. See below photos for the sparkle it creates.
