On World Card Making Day, October 2nd, I was busy crafting, but I wasn't paying much attention to the many challenges available. After the fact, I saw the Pinkfresh Studio World Card Making Day Challenge which closes tonight. For most of the intervening days, a lovely new stencil from Pinkfresh Studio, "Holiday Botanical Background," has been laying on my desk waiting for some attention. Finally, on the last night the challenge is live, here is the card.
It's a four-step stencil and very easy to line up. I used two Pinkfresh green inks and one Altenew green ink on the leaves and Pinkfresh's "Candy Apple" for the berries. The sentiment is from a new stamp set by Waffle Flower, "Cozy Holiday Sentiments." I like the simply graphic font, and it was the perfect size for the opening in the center of the card.
I die cut the stenciled panel with the largest of Spellbinders "A2 Matting Basics" dies and added it to a red cardbase. Then I added some subtle shadows with a very light gray Copic marker and some highlights with a white gel pen. The only embellishments are some Droplets from The Stamp Market.
Happy to have another Christmas card added to the stash and happy to have finally put these lovely products to use!
