Holly Jolly Ornaments + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I wanted to get a little inky today, so we’re going to have some fun with Distress mediums! I love the different ornaments from the Ornament Cover Plate, so that will be the focus for today’s card.

I started with die cutting the Ornament Cover Plate from watercolor cardstock. You can see how I ink squished and layered on different Distress mediums in my video today, but I used Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles Distress Oxides to add ink to my card panel. I also sprayed Tree Lot Distress Mica Spray and brought in some Evergreen Bough Distress Ink to fill in some of the leftover white pieces.

For the ornaments, I watercolored them with Distress Watercolor Pencils, using water and paintbrushes to add color to the designs. Once everything was dry, I glued the panel and the ornaments to a card base. I cut the tops of the ornaments using the small die from the Ornament Cover Plate Dies from a shiny cardstock and added them to the top of each ornament.

Using the same cardstock, I cut the Holly Jolly Shadow sentiment. I cut the shadow from vellum and two additional sentiments from scrap, white cardstock. I glued the two white sentiments together and then to the back of the vellum. The shiny cardstock was glued to the top. This allows some dimension without foam that could be visible behind the vellum!

I added the sentiment to the center of the card and some liquid embellishment around the card that matched the cardstock I used for the sentiment and ornament tops.
