Candy Cane Christmas

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa! Today I’m sharing my first Christmas card of the season, featuring the adorable Sweet Christmas stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the background, I started with watercolour paper and Distress Watercolour Pencils in Prize Ribbon, Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough, Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon, and Iced Spruce. I layered the colours one at a time, heat-setting between sprays to build depth and texture. For a final touch of interest, I added splatters of Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain.

I die-cut a frame from white cardstock using the Stitched Window Cover Die and adhered it to the blue panel with liquid glue. I then used liquid glue to adhere them both to a white card base. 

Next, I stamped several images from the Sweet Christmas stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using my Brother ScanNCut SDX125e. I added highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen.

The “Happy Christmas” sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments set. I stamped it with VersaMark ink, sprinkled on Ultra Fine Embossing Powder, and heat-set it until smooth and melted. I then used a die from the A6 Simple Nesting Dies to cut it out.

I adhered the images to the card base with liquid glue and foam tape to add dimension.
