It's quick and easy Christmas cards this week for the Stampotique Challenge this week.
I have decided to make and blog a card a day for this challenge all this week until the next challenge starts. (are you getting the clue here that I have made no cards at all!!)
All my cards will take no longer than 15 minutes to make. (not including thinking time)
A bit of a change of style for me today, I saw this style on Tracy's folksy shop Splattered ink and thought how well it would suit this stamp so I nabbed the idea and here is my take on it, a bit more grungy than her's are but that's just how my stuff turns out.
I used Kraft Card as my base. I stamped the snowflakes in brown ink onto a piece of card cut and torn to size, and then inked this with blue distress ink. I stamped and coloured my image onto a piece of card cut to size, inked it with with brown distress ink from the edge inward to blend it, and then stuck this to the snowflake piece.
I dyed a piece of ribbon with ink and water on my craft mat, tied it in place around the blue piece of snowflake card and stuck it to my Kraft card base.
I added my quote to the bottom and finished the whole card with some hand drawn lines.
I finished it with a metal snowflake that I painted white before dipping into clear glitter to give it a bit of bling when the light caught it.
