Continuing along with my goal to 'Get Cracking on Christmas' all year long, by creating my Christmas cards with a few crafty friends throughout the year! If you want to see how it all started, go to my original post here.
I'm happy to be able to share a Christmas card this month along with my friend Jenn. Be sure to visit her blog to check out the fabulous cards she has made. If you are in the mood to make some Christmas cards along with us, be sure to post them on Instagram and use the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas
Today, I am using a Tim Holtz Sizzix die that I had not had a chance to play with, Feathered Friends and thought it would be fun to turn this little bird into a Christmas card. To start, I stamped the words from the Stripes and Holiday set using Gathered Twigs DIstress Ink (wiping off some of the ink with a baby wipe before I stamped). I inked the edges of the panel. Then I inked up a panel of paper using Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive and just a tiny bit of Lucky Clover and cut the wreath from it.
For the little bird, I used my Altenew Artist Watercolors to color him in. I gave him a few layers of color, dried them with a heat tool and assembled them. I added some white gouache splatter over the card, then adhered the bird. To finish the card, I added a Christmas Clippings sticker.
