Quick One Layer Christmas Card


Hi, Cornelia here today, playing with Joyful

I made this simple and quick one layer card, that would be easy to mass-produce, if you have a lot of Christmas cards to make. And you know, Christmas is not too far off.....



So, lets get started!


I stamped the wreath from the Joyful set and sponged it, deliberately going outside the stamp.


Added the sentiment and colored the berries with red marker.


I then masked the sides and sponged again with a slightly lighter green' I then decided that the berries were not red enough and added red and gold Stickles to them. 



A small bow to finish it off. Here is a straight on view, but you can't see the Stickles that well.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
