Hi there! Today’s card is inspired by the Retro Rubber Challenge #268. To play along, click the link (HERE) I was looking forward to shopping through my wood block stamps and decided on Bearing Gifts of Christmas Cheer from Stampin Up. This card is an A2 top folded card. I turned the sketch vertically, to better accommodate my stamp and sentiment. For my card, I stamped onto a scrap of white card-stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I colored with water soluble markers and fussy cut. I used The red and blue patterned paper from Stampin Up’s One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, and cut with the Labels A Glow oblong shaped die. The sentiment is from Elegant Pines stamp set (SU). I used the long label from the Labels A Glow die set, with Night of Navy Ink (SU). I glued the labels onto a card base measuring 3 3/4 x 5. I centered the bear in the middle and used the sentiment underneath as an anchor. Thanks for stopping by! - Valerie Kaye
I’m glad you stopped by! I have always enjoyed art, and was introduced to card making about 12 years ago. From there, the ability to create a variety of styles provides a therapeutic outlet to each day. You will find several card challenges, and themes which might inspire you to try something new. Enjoy!
