Candy Canes Galore!

Hello friends,

I have a minty card for the 'CASE Me a Christmas Card' event, where I'm CASEing Lisa Tilson. I was inspired to use these punched candy canes I've been hoarding for years in place of the different die cuts she used. 

Products used:

Punched candy canes, #sharpiemarker & #prismacolorpencil (to draw stripes) #uniko stamps #stampin'up (sentiment & gems).

Stripes were drawn on the candy canes using a chisel tip sharpie for the thick stripes and a colour pencil for the thinner ones. After glueing them on the card, the spaces were stamped with holly berries, the sentiment was stamped on a label, inked around the edges, and adhered with foam tape. Finished off with gems.

Trees In Snow

Hello friends,

Here's another card for the 'CASE Me a Christmas Card' event, where I'm CASEing Andrew Granick. I was inspired by the row of trees and made use of die cuts sent to me as RAK over a decade ago.

Products used:

die cut trees (company unknown), #catherinepooler ink (for the background), #uniko stamp (sentiment), gansaitambi pearl & white watercolor (spatters)

Ink was directly applied at random on a panel of watercolor paper, spritzed with water and allowed to move. Once dry, ink lifting was done. the process was repeated until I was satisfied. The panel was adhered to the card base, followed by the trees. A wavy line was drawn, fussy cut and glued below the trees to depict sand dunes. The sentiment was stamped and finished off with spatters of pearl and white.

Designer Paper Trees

Hello friends,

Here's yet another card for the 'CASE Me a Christmas Card' event, where I'm CASEing Sejr Andersen. I copied his card sketch, large sentiment and a background of trees. Not too happy with this card as the edge of the paper showed on the letters. But it was too late, and I didn't have doubles of the letters. 

Products used:

#echopark paper, alpha stickers (company unknown) & die cut bling
