A Colorful Merry Christmas

Christmas is soon coming and I really like how much depth and dimension can be achieved by using the vibrant and lovely colors of Kaleidacolor inks. Perfect for Holiday season :)

 


A bright and cheery Chrismas card featuring holly images stamped with Kaleidacolor.

Directions:

1.  Make a cardbase using white cardstock.

2.  Cut another piece of the same size as the card front.Start by stamping 2 sizes of leaves using Kaleidacolor ink in Caribbean.

3.  Stamp the berries using Desert Heat Kaleidacolor ink. This is so we can have balanced distribution of all the elements.

4.  Stamp the tiny green images using the light green part of the Caribbean ink.

5.  Using Delicata Gold ink stamp the dotted image near the tiny green images. Fill the entire panel the same way.

6. Take a tiny amount of Real Black All-Purpose ink onto the craft mat. Add a drop of water and flick it onto the panel using a paint brush.

7. Once dry, decorate the 2 sides by using the stitched borders die.

8. Stamp the Sentiment using VersaFine Onyx black ink. Tie gold thread around the stamped panel and adhere the sentiment onto it using 3D foam.

9. Adhere the panel to the cardbase.

This is how the close-up looks
