Kraft Blue And White Christmas Colour Combination

How the months have flown by this year and Christmas will soon be upon us.  I hope you have all managed to get those Christmas cards made, if not this month's challenge  will hopefully inspire you to make a few.  The theme is "Winter", Christmas cards, snowflakes, holly and ivy all come to mind so check out the challenge on the Inkspired By Oak House Studio facebook page and let us see your Winter cards entered into the challenge.

 

Here I have a kraft card with blue and white using Oak House Studio snowflake collection stamps and sentiment.  The snowflake collection stamps were stamped onto the blank kraft card in powder blue pigment ink, an oblong of white card was masked and snowflakes stamped and embossed with white embossing powder the background was then coloured using powder blue pigment ink and an ink duster.  The sentiment was stamped in blue and three layered tags, kraft, blue and white, were tied with string and a button.  All elements were layered onto the kraft card, a die cut snowflake added and some sequins for sparkle.

Fabulous prize again this month, so come on and join us in the winter challenge which closes at the end of the month.

Big Christmas Collection Christmas Card With Stamps from Oak House Studio.

Today's card  for Oak House Studio features 2 sets of stamp collections, the Big Christmas Collection and the 2 inch Journal Circles set.  For the background I used a mixture of regal claret, citrus orange and totally turquoise from the ink in a bottle range  and sprayed onto a glossy card.  The background was made on a A4 size card and I cut out this square as the colours worked well with the Sea Blue ink pad .  

To start with the construction of the card I stamped the dotted frame circle onto my background square.  Then I stamped the solid snowflake bauble from the big Christmas Collection onto white card stock with the sea blue ink.  I cut this out using a 1 inch circle punch (you can just cut around the bauble if you don't have a punch).  I then glued this to a flattened bottle cap, let it dry and then added the clear bubble dome on top.  I then applied this to the center of the stamped frame - if you score the back of the bottle cap with a scalpel it will help to adhere the cap to the background.  the corners are then stamped using the open snowflake bauble in the 4 corners of the background.  I've mounted the whole thing onto a coordinating paper from my stash of scraps.  To balance the whole card I added the words "Let it Snow" from the Snowflake collection.

Have a great day
