First Christmas Card of 2021

For my very first Christmas card of 2021 (the earliest one I have ever made in a year), I used the last Clarity New Design Stencil club offering of 2020 (#79) together with the October club stamp (#168).

Working directly onto the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank, add Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides through the frameless mandala/snowflake stencil.

Move the stencil around and continue adding the same colours until the front of the card is complete.

Die cut a piece of Clarity stencil card using the 3” nested square die. Cut a mat from black card using the 3.25” nested square picot die.

Add the holly and ivy square stamp to the topper in Versamark ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

Add the same colour Oxides as before to the background and buff. Mat up the topper.

Add the topper to the centre of the card.

Stamp two of Barbara’s Christmas sentiments in Onyx Black Versafine ink above and below the topper.

To finish, add one of the Christmas & Celebrations stickers to the topper.
