Season's Greetings

 

Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, Wendy. 

I chose this card as my inspiration:

LIST: Colours (red, black, white, blue), Techniques (stamping, colouring with chalk), Elements (botanical focal image with two types of flowers, frame, ribbon bow, sentiment stamped directly on card base)

INCLUDE: red, black, white, basic layout, 

MODIFY: occasion to Christmas, red flowers to die cut trees, blue flowers to snowflakes, stamped sentiment to die cut sentiment

EXCLUDE: ribbon

SPIN: geometric stenciled background, square card

I really focused on the almost-'polaroid' layout of a smaller focal area with an uneven 'frame' of card base around it, and putting the sentiment directly on the card base.

My focal area was created using one stencil on two separate panels, one red, one green. I cut the trees from the green panel and popped them up on the red rectangle.

If you missed the announcement the other day, I'm going to be teaching a class at the next Card Maker Success Summit in July. You can sign up to be on the waitlist HERE, and that means you'll be notified as soon as registration is available!
