I created a card using Simon Says Stamp Postage Collage Cover die decorated with images and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Home For The Holidays stamp set.
I began by die-cutting the Postage Collage Cover die from white card, popped out the inner sections and fixed temporarily to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card to use as a stencil.
I inked through the Postage Collage Cover die-cut using Simon Says Stamp Latte Pawsitively Saturated Ink and a round detail blending brush.
This is what it looks like when the Postage Collage cover die-cut is removed.
With the cover die-cut back in place, I stamped the holly and snowflake images from Simon Says Stamp Home For The Holidays stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
I carefully trimmed the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Home For The Holidays stamp set and stamped the individual words, inked with Sangria Pawsitively Saturated Ink. You can easily fit the stamp back together if you wish to stamp it as shown on the stamp set.
I smooshed the Sangria and Artichoke Pawsitively Saturated ink pads on to my glass media mat and coloured the holly leaves and berries using a Distress Detailer Waterbrush. I replaced the cover die-cut and added splatters of Dina Wakley White Gloss Spray.
I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.1/4", matted on to a panel of Simon Says Stamp Lipstick Red cardstock, added Ranger Glossy Accents to the holly berries and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
I'm off to make myself a cuppa, find a comfy sofa, visit all the blog party guests and be inspired by their DieCember creativity. Ill be back tomorrow to share a fun project using a very special DieCember surprise, in the meantime have fun with whatever you're making.
