Here is the sketch that was created by Liz Goldhawk:
I started off on this card by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake card stock
4-1/4” x 11” and scored it at 5-1/2”. Next I stamped the swirl from Everything
Eleanor in the bottom right corner a couple times with the Illuminate Versamark
pad. This leaves a watermark with just a little bit of shimmer. So pretty!
Next I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 1” x 3-3/4” and stamped
the greeting from Greetings of the Season onto the card stock in Cherry Cobbler
ink. I adhered this onto a 1-1/4” x 4” piece of Early Espresso card stock and
adhered this onto the top of the card front. Next I adhered a scrap of Cherry
Cobbler card stock across the card front directly under the greeting panel.
How did I get that pretty curvy decorative edge on the Cherry Cobbler
card stock you ask? This is actually a scrap leftover from cutting a piece of
Cherry Cobbler card stock on the Fancy Favor box die. I just adhered it down
and trimmed off the excess sticking out past the edge of the card front with
Paper Snips. Then I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso Stitched Grosgrain ribbon
around the card front and tied it into a bow.
Now for the tree. I cut a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock in the Big
Shot with the tree die from the Holiday Framelits set. I colored in the tree
with the Gumball Green marker. I colored each tier of the tree with downward
strokes going from the top of the tier towards the bottom. Once I colored the
entire thing I went back over it again, this time not going down quite as far
with the strokes on each tier. Repeat this one more time. This gives you some
shading on your tree. I colored in the trunk of the tree with the Early
Espresso marker.
I used the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack on a piece of
Champagne Glimmer Paper and adhered the star onto the very tippity top of the
tree with a 2-Way Glue Pen. Then I added some dots of Cherry Cobbler Dazzling
Details to hand some ornaments on the tree. Once the Dazzling Details dried I
adhered the tree onto the card front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
So cute, and sparkly! What do you think?
