Krafty Season's Greetings

I don't see why kraft card cannot be used for Christmas cards so made one using one of the new SHAC Baubles stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

Cut a 5” x 5” kraft card into two and use one half as a topper. Die cut a mat from Clarity stencil card using the 5.25” nested squares picot die.

Add the bauble blank from the SHAC Baubles Season’s Greetings set to the topper in Versamark ink and heat emboss with detail white embossing powder.

Add the greeting within the bauble in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear powder. Mask up the bauble.

Add the three largest background stamps in the same way as the bauble.

Add some of the smaller background stamps from the same set in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink without heat embossing. Remove the mask.

Add lines above and below the greeting with a white gel pen and a black line from the top of the card to ‘hang’ the bauble.

Add a drop shadow to the bauble using a Faber-Castell Polychromo pencil (#181).

To finish, mat up the topper and add it to the front of a 6” x 6” kraft card blank.
