Take Flight

This is another card I made for Christmas Last year.

The is a 3.5 x 8 card.

The red background was done using the resist technique.

Using a piece of Glossy Cardstock, I inked the poinsettia stamp with VersaMark ink and stamped it randomly over the entire piece of glossy paper.

I then inked up my rubber brayer with cranberry ink and rolled it back and forth over the glossy CS re-inking when necessary to get full coverage.

I let it dry for a few minutes and took a tissue and wiped off the excess red ink from the glossy.
This reveled the stamped imaged that was stamped with the VersaMark.

Let it dry for a few hours or overnight.

Whipe over it with a used dryer sheet to eliminate embossing powder from sticking where you don't want it.

Ink then Poinsettia stamp back up with the VersaMark Ink and stamp it randomly three times on the glossy in a triangular pattern.

Cover with white embossing powder and shake off excess. Heat with Heat tool.

Liquid applique was added to the branches and also to the top scallop of the card then heated slightly to puff up.

I then went over it with a glue pen and added some glitter.

Take Flight

This was one of my Christmas Cards last year.

I used the cardinal from the Take Flight Stamp Set.

Papers used are Everlasting B&T, New England Ivy & Cranberry Cardstock.
I used the White Daisy Pigment Ink Pad and white Embossing Powder and heat set for Merry Christmas.
I used Desert Dand Ink to sponge the edges of the papers and card.

Black Archival Pad was used to stamp the Cardinal and color in with Holly Berry Red and Cranberry Markers.

I punched a circle out of Cranberry CS, folded it in half and adhered it to the left front edge of the card and attached an edge anchore to the circle.

Red Gross Grain Ribbon was attached to the card front right where the B&T and red cardstock meet. Knot a small piece of ribbon onto the ribbon.
