Layered Father Christmas

Another Christmas under my belt!  I combined the gorgeous Father Christmas stamp set and Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue with the new Cardfront Builder Dies from the Holiday Catalogue.  

The exciting news is that Stampin' Up! have released this product (and the matching Carols of Christmas stamp set which can be purchased as a bundle) early.  
It's available from TODAY!!!

A very layered card with a Father Christmas focal

Of course, I could have simply used the die to cut the design in the Cherry Cobbler piece and placed a piece of Whisper White cardstock behind it to show through but .... I'm addicted to Embossing Paste!  So instead, I cut a stencil from Window Sheet with the die and spread on some paste!

I watercoloured the image with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Pink Pirouette, Powder Pink, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Peekaboo Peach, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Tuxedo Black, Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide.  Where is the Peekaboo Peach?  It's underneath some Soft Suede in the bears and Santa's snappy man bag!  (Maybe in my next rendition he'll have learned to have matching accessories!).

The inside of the card features the embellished greeting in the Father Christmas stamp set

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Cardfront Builder with Embossing Paste

Continuing my quest to attack everything that doesn't breath with Embossing Paste!  I started out by making stencils with the dies in the Cardfront Builder set (which matches the Carols of Christmas stamp set - available as a bundle to save 10%).  These products will be available from 1st August as an early release from the Holiday Catalogue (due later this year).

My first Christmas card for the year!  It features stencils I made with the Cardfront Builder dies
and Embossing paste

I then placed the moon and stars stencil onto a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock and used a small amount of Embossing Paste straight from the pot.

When that embossing was dry, I positioned the two tree stencils and used Embossing Paste that I had coloured with a drop of Tranquil Tide ink.  Once that layer was dry, I went back to using the paste direct from the pot to add snow to the trees and foreground.  While it was still wet, I sprinkled it with some Dazzling Diamonds which sparkles nicely - although I didn't manage to capture it with my photography.

I have mislaid my stamp set (!!!) so I cut out the deer and watercoloured her.  I stamped the greeting with Tranquil Tide ink and then added a layer of Wink of Stella to the word "sparkle", although it doesn't show in my photographs.

The trees have quite a bit of depth to them!

Thank you for your visit.
'Til next time!
