Day 6: Christmas Theme Week + Daily Giveaways
Hello, friends and welcome back to Day 6 of Christmas Theme Week on the Pretty Pink Posh blog! Brenda from My PaperCut Creations here with you today!! Holiday cards are some of my favorite to create so I’m super excited to be sharing my card featuring the stunning Winter Foliage Die Set with you today!! I love everything about this set!
I began by die-cutting all the elements in the Winter Foliage Die Set from red, two shades of green, two shades of brown and two shades of teal cardstock. I added some dimension to the die-cuts with dye inks and blending brushes, then layered and adhered each individual element together with liquid glue.
For the background, I blended Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks onto a panel of white cardstock with the Snowflake Background Stencil. I added the darker color toward the center, then blended it lighter toward the outside of the panel. I also die-cut the panel with the Pierced Snowflakes Die to add a bit of texture. The poinsettias were popped up with foam squares and the pinecones and foliage die-cuts were arranged and tucked in around the poinsettias, adhering them with liquid glue. I added Cherry Red Pearls to the berry branches, then splattered the panel with diluted white bleed-proof ink. I applied Opaque Grit Paste and a bit of Rock Candy Glitter to the entire arrangement to create a snowy effect.
The sentiment is from the Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set. It was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink and cut out with a die from the Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. I also die-cut three more banners from heavyweight white cardstock using the same die and adhered them behind the stamped one, then adhered it across the center of the card. A trio of Metallic Gold Confetti added to the center of each of the poinsettias finishes off the card.
