Work of Art Christmas Card combined with Festival of Trees makes for a wonderful quick card. I have been working with the Work of Art Stamp set and added the Festival of Trees to it to give it another dimension. I think it looks great. Easy and not a lot of work to get a stunning card. I made these to go in an order that the customer asked for a variety. I did not do a very good job on the Embossing of the middle tree on these two cards. I did learn the trick. It is to stamp the tree on the white cardstock first with your versamark then with your color. Then you would emboss the tree and heat set. Then you can go onto your other trees. With these two cards I did not do that and it does show. I still think it gives it some shadow behind the silver and looks good.
Here is what you will need to achieve this look.
Cardstock/Ink
- Whisper White Cardstock (card base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and 5 x 3 3/4)
- Tempting Turquoise Cardstock (5 1/4 x 4)
- Glitter Paper
- Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads
- Soft Sky
- Pool Party
- Tempting Turquoise
- Bermuda Bay
- Smoky Slate
Tools/Stamps
- Bright and Beautiful Stamp Set
- Work of Art Stamp Set
- Festival of Trees Stamp Set
- Versa Mark
- Silver Embossing Powder
- Tree Punch
- Star Punch
- Dimentionals
You will start with the whisper white cardstock (smaller piece). Stamp the Work of Art Stamp that looks like a large brush stroke with the above colors in that order. Make sure you clean your stamp in between colors to keep your colors clean and pure. Stamp your trees from Festival of Trees as mention above. Then you can assemble your card.
