Christmas Cards
January 06, 2014
I realize that Christmas is over, but I wanted to share a few cards that I made at the last minute.
The backgrounds for all six cards were created with two pieces of black cardstock. I used white spray paint through a (**new**) Balzer Designs stencil and then while the paint was still wet, I pressed it to a clean sheet of black cardstock to get the reverse print. The snowflakes are the ones I used as masks when I created my Sprayed Snowflake Christmas Cards, which I shared last week. The stamp is the same hand carved sentiment that I used before. I tried out two different embossing powders. Neither one really gave me the detail I was looking for. So, I'll keep trying!
I had fun playing with the same few elements and trying to see how many interesting compositions I could create. Sort of like working in a series on a very small scale!
Thanks for stopping by!
