Christmas Scene within a Word

It is easy to create a mask so that a scene can be created within this framer Christmas stamp.

Die cut a 4.5” topper from Clarity stencil car using a nested square die. Cut a mat from red card using the 4.75” nested square picot die.

Stamp the Noel Framer stamp onto the topper in Crimson Red Versafine ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Add the elf stealing the presents to the top of the ‘E’ in Onyx Black Versafine ink.

Add the Christmas Tree into the centre of the ‘O’ in Spanish Moss Versafine ink and colour the pot with a black Posca pen.

Make a mask out of copy paper, cutting out the inside of the ‘O’ in Noel. Lay it over the stamping, add a second piece along the bottom of the tree and add a floor with a stencil brush and Hickory Smoke Distress ink.

Add a child each side of the tree in black ink. Colour the star in gold.

Add Joyeux above Noel in Onyx Black Versafine ink.

Stamp a row of presents along the bottom of the topper in the same ink. Colour them using Peeled Paint and Aged Mahogany Distress inks and a watercolour brush pen.

To finish, mat up the topper and add it to the front of a 5” x 5” white card blank.
