Hi Prickley Pear Friends! I’m Tia from rockymtncraftia.com. I’m the newest member to the Prickley Pear Family and am SO excited to be here! For my DT debut, I went right to the good stuff…Christmas! I’ve never been a Christmas in July card maker but this year I was talked into trying by several crafty friends. Turns out it was easier and more addictive than I thought! And now that I’ve started, I’ve vowed to keep going until the very end (end of my card recipient list!)
My card today features the gorgeous Victorian Ornaments 3 set! I love mistletoe and knew I wanted a card for my husband. I came up with the sentiment and created a MS-Word document. After printing it out on the die-cut cardstock frame, I used a little distress ink to create a “glow” where my ornament would be.
I stamped with gray-ink (for the no-lines effect), colored the ornament and fussy cut it out (how did I miss the die for it in the store!) and then attached it with foam tape for dimension. I topped it off with double bows of gold thread. I die-cut the additional vine & berries to break-up the white background and draw attention to the focal image and sentiment.
COPIC Markers Used:
Ornament: Y00; Y11; Y15; YR23
Ribbon: R59; R29; R27; R22
Mistletoe: YG11; YG17; YG25; White Gelly Roll Pen
If you haven’t started on your Holiday card-making, I hope I inspired you to start! There are several beautiful ornament sets in the Prickley Pear store-so get them before they are gone. With only 124 days left until Christmas, I’ve already got another card idea brewing with this set-so come back for more! But more importantly-go create something beautiful!
See you soon!
-Tia
