Christmas Countdown 2018 - Day 2

Click on image for closer look.


Today's card was one we made in my November classes.  We had lots of fun making it and comparing our cards – each was just a little different!

 Instructions

To create background, press one side of H block lengthwise into Garden Green ink; press opposite side into Pear Pizzazz ink (note: the two colors don’t need to meet); spritz block with enough water to form droplets, but not enough to wash ink off of block (about 3 or 4 spritzes work well).  Immediately turn over and press block onto Shimmery White card stock.  Use Aqua Painter to sop up extra water/ink on block; tap with Bone Folder to splash across card stock.  Allow card stock to air dry or dry more quickly with Heat Tool.  When card stock is completely dry, stamp holly leaves with Memento Ink.  Accent holly berries with Red Rhinestones.  Adhere Shimmery White card stock to front of card.

Stamp sentiment on 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” Shimmery White die cut; adhere to 1-7/8” x 1-7/8” Real Red die cut.  Attach as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Fun and easy, right?!
