If you've been with me for a few years, you know I've participated in Michelle Lupton's CASE me a Christmas card series, and Michelle is a dear friend. This year she's had some life challenges, and asked us if she should take a break this year, and we all encouraged her to take a break. She certainly has earned one.
But being the sneaky people we are, we colluded to get together today and honor her by CASEing her cards and posting them - I'll link you to the hop - to honor her and her incredible contribution to the designer community every year. So I CASEd a very recent card of hers, as we have a shared love of gnomes! I used the same gnome stamp set she did and then just did a technique for the snow I learned in one of my earliest marker classes - it's so easy even I can do it! I used OLO Markers. The video is below.
Thank you so much Michelle for including me in this series - it's been such an honor! I hope this brings you a little cheer as you enjoy your break!
Since it's always such a festive holiday series I thought I'd add a few more of the holiday cards I've been working on.
First - I will have a video on this background soon, but this is a very Scandinavian feeling 3D embossing folder I just love. The sentiment is from this set - I know I've used this a lot lately, but I like how mix and match it is. I used these transparent liquid watercolors and a little acrylic paint.
And in an experiment that worked beautifully, I just used regular white pigment ink with my Betterpress die and it's perfect! I absolutely could do all my Christmas cards like this. So simple and so elegant. - and even with pigment ink, so crisp.
Finally - another one I'll have a video for soon - this adorable Santa die - I've hidden half of him in my DIY Chimney but what's cool about this die is that every piece that's a different color is its own die - so you can use colored cardstock and be completely done in seconds. The little sentiment is actually part of a flag you can have him carrying when he isn't A over T in the chimney!
Here is the video!
