Tis the Season

Elaine here with a wintery card featuring a new set of stamps that fell through my letterbox -  I just had to have a play!  It's the Deck the Hall Stamp set from Oak House Studio - they're a great set and luckily there is no sound on this blog as they make me want to sing!!


My card today uses just one of the three word stamps in the set plus the Ivy Leaves from the Bumper Winter Leaves set.  I started by spraying my backgrounds with Ink in a Bottle - Bobby's Grey through a brick wall stencil and Citrus Lime on some A4 stamping card.  I've embossed the Ivy Leaves with Welbeck Green embossing powder, then blended over some areas with a little Forest Green pigment ink and cut them out.

As you can see, I've used a grey base card, added a square of the Citrus Lime card, the brick wall edged with silver embossing powder and  finished it off with some ribbon.  I specifically used the Tis the Season stamp to create this wintery card - it doesn't just have to be for Christmas!!

Hope you like and thanks for looking!!
