Today, just to stay on topic, I decided to hang up some holiday ornaments along with the cutest mischievous kitty on my card front. To start, I made the die cutting to achieve all the shapes I needed, using the coordinating Newton’s Candy Cane Die and Holiday Lights Die sets plus my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I worked on Copic X-Press paper and made the stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, using the outline illustrations from Newton’s Candy Cane stamp and Holiday Lights stamp sets. Next I colored all the stamps with copic markers.

An extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) was trimmed and scored from Neenah Solar White paper. I stamped the matching sentiment from Christmas Trimmings stamp set in the top right conner and then added a couple of tone on tone snowflakes through Snowfall stencil with a plain white embossing paste. I let the embossing paste air dry and then hand draw the stitched lines with a black marker. Finally I popped all the colored stamps on a foam tape. A generous coat of a clear shimmer pen and a few sparkling sequins gave a finished touch to this project.

In case you’re interested, I’m leaving you the complete list of all the colors used on this card: COPIC cat C00-C1-3-C5 plus R000-R30; R30-R32-R35-R37-R39; YG0000-YG00-YG01-YG03-YG67; T0-T1-T3.
