Joy to the World

 

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!

LIST: Colours (pink, white, green, red), Techniques (stamping, die cutting), Elements (red flowers with leaves, 3 dragonflies, stamped sentiment on label die, splatter, ribbon)

INCLUDE: red, green, white, leaves, stamped sentiment on label, splatter

MODIFY: Christmas instead of spring, holly instead of flowers, stencilling instead of stamping, snowflakes instead of dragonflies, moved the sentiment, black mat instead of green/pink

EXCLUDE: ribbon, pink

I've been having fun with a new set of small stencils - each one is the size of a tag and the have various holiday-themed images.

I created a random pattern of holly leaves with two colours of deep green ink, then used red and fuchsia for the berries - the fuschia gives a kind of pinky glow to them.

I stamped my sentiment with the same red and fuchsia inks, and cut it out with a stitched circle die. I added 3 gold 'snowflake/star' die cut shapes.
