Hi Everyone, It's Julie here hosting the blog today and Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my American friends.
This week I decided to keep my design flat on my Christmas card to demonstrate how you can still get lots of interest and the illusion of depth onto a card. At the same time being able to put in an envelope for ease of posting.
This week I decided to keep my design flat on my Christmas card to demonstrate how you can still get lots of interest and the illusion of depth onto a card. At the same time being able to put in an envelope for ease of posting.
My 2 base layers were cut out using my stacker dies. I
went around the edge of my patterned paper with my distress tool and added a
little ink and stickles around the perimeter. My Santa image I also used my
distress tool at the edges.
My image I used a little Frantage on and added onto my
die cut frame along with some more Stickles.
My Reindeer were cut out in the same brown card as my
frame and a maroon coloured card. I glued them together offsetting them
slightly to give a shadow effect.
Finally scattering some die cut snowflakes all over my
card, look how crisply they cut. You will notice I have put some partly under the frame and others on the
top, this also gives an illusion of depth.
Cheery Lynn Dies Used :
- L1 Square Classic
- XL-2 Square Scalloped
- CM1 Cardmaker Rectangle Classic
- CM2 Cardmaker Rectangle Scalloped
- C146 Snowflakes
- B484 Deer in the Forest
Good Luck to Everyone entering our Weekly Challenge and I
will see you all next Saturday.
