- Er... no, I haven't started them yet. But I've been THINKING about it!
Also -- Sometimes things don't go as planned and we had a little hiccup -- so today I'm sharing the deliciously whimsical card by Amy Lassiter here on our blog that was missed yesterday. Her original post was here. Check out the her card, leave her some love here on our blog, and we'll give away one more Christmas themed grab bag to a sweet comment left for Amy.
Plucked directly from Amy's Blog:
"I have created a fun little card to shine with Christmas spirit,
without a single Christmas specific image! Today I am giving a shout out
to Dr. Who…and thinking of how the TARDIS would look, sailing across a
sky of Christmas stars, sending a Christmas greeting.
The background of my card was created by adding many colors of blue on my Gelli Plate, and then spreading with a brayer. When this was dry, giving splatters of white ink from 13 Arts, gave me a nice night sky to work with.
I painted the watercolored pine trees, fussy cut them out, and added
them in layers. Each tree is topped with a star from the Stars 2 x 2
1/4, using gold ink from Imagine Crafts.
The Whimsical flying police box stamp is focus
of this card, obviously. I decided to stamp it in several colors of
blue, and then color with Sakura Gelly Roll pens, Faber Castell Design
Memory Craft big brush pens, and fine line Sharpies; for pops of color. I
wanted the TARDIS to be flying the Union Jack, so I stamped it using
the Union jack silhouette, and added it and the Chevron banner
stamp, using shimmering gold heavy embroidery thread….like they were
being flown. The entire card was added in a layer to another white plain
4×6 card, which was watercolored to give a lighter background pop of
color."
