This week's MIM #231 Motif Building by Betsy Veldman looked like a lot of fun. She makes everything look so simple to do! Well, maybe for her...lol...but it took me a while to pick out the stamps and the colors to use for this card. I'm still in holiday mode, especially since the radio station started playing Christmas carols today, so naturally I'm making another holiday card!
On white cardstock I started with the snowflake in the middle, stamped in Scarlet Jewel ink and added the trees in Ocean Tides ink around it. Next, I added the little gingerbread man in Pure Poppy ink.
To continue to build outward, I added the stars in Scarlet Jewel ink on the tree tops and the tiny snowflakes in Aqua Mist ink around the gingerbread man. The sentiment is stamped in Ocean Tides ink and the panel adhered to an Ocean Tides cardstock card base.
At the last minute I decided to add the bows in the corners and clear gems to the center and points on the snowflake. This was a fun technique and I hope to use it again soon!
