I chose a neutral palette of black/grey and brown/kraft for my set of clean and simple, have to be quick to make, set of cards and gathered supplies.
I trimmed white cardstock to create 6 - 4.1/4" x 5.1/4" cards, inked the Brushstrokes image with Hickory Smoke and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide inks, spritzed the stamp with water and stamped on the cards.
Nordic Winter Thinlits die/Star Trim Impresslits
Scraps of Idea-ology Classic KraftStock,sanded back to reveal the kraft core
and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Adhesive Sheets fixed on the back
Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Glorious Gatherings, Simple Sayings and Brushstrokes
I used scraps of Classic Kraft Stock to die cut only what I needed for the cards - the houses, larger trees, deer and large stars, die-cutting whole panels and ending up with an even bigger mountain of waste was not on the cards, forgive the pun
I fixed the die-cuts on the background, added a torn strip of Classic KraftStock to ground them, die-cut the gorgeous and very detailed Star Trim 3D Impresslits which I cut into small strips and attached to the cards with Distress Collage Medium Matte.I inked the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Glorious Gatherings and Simple Sayings with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress Archival inks and stamped on the cards, mixing up the sentiments from the two stamp sets.
I added Lucy's Little Things Ice Crystal sequins to add just a little touch of Christmas bling..
Toodle-oo for now
