Hi folks! Here's another Christmas card this time made with the 'Merry Christmas' Giordano stamp set. I made the background paper by stamping the little drum image (from the set) and embossing with copper embossing power. I used a scrap of copper mirri card, which I scrunched up, and adhered across the card near the bottom. I dug out some microflute card (in my stash for years) tore a piece and applied some copper metallic rub on to the raised areas. I tied some fibre around the microfulte card before adhering. I stamped the image using Sepia versafine, lightly watercoloured, tore around the edges and distressed with inks.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set. I stamped, embossed, cut out, shaped with my fingers and adhered using dimensional glue gel. For a finishing touch I used my Papermania Christmas wax seal set to create the little Christmas tree seal. I embedded some tiny pieces of red ribbon and glitter before it dried.
For the inside I stamped the cute holly image that also comes from the stamp set and repeated the greeting.Ciao for now!
