Hi everyone. I have a holiday foliage holiday card with a vintage look and feel. This is a square shaped card with the design on the left side corners.
Background:
Cut the Woodgrain cream paper to 5″ x 5″ square. Ink blend the outside corners with Distress Vintage Photo. Then ink up the edge of the paper with the ink pad. Spritz with water and blot with a paper towel. Then splatter with vintage photo around the outside edges. Set aside to dry.
Die Cuts:
Die cut everything from 140 lb white card stock. Die cuts used are Wistful Sparrow, Pine Branches, Pinecone Duo, Festive Holly, Petite Poinsettia (just the smaller flowers), and the holy form the Holiday Snowglobe set. For the ink blending use Distress inks and a small detail brush. For the reds I used Festive Berry and for Aged Mahogany, for the browns I used Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. For the greens I used Pine Needle, Rustic Wilderness, Shabby Shutters and Evergreen Bough. Adhere all the die cut layers together following the front of the envelopes as guides. Shape the poinsettias using a medium shaping stylus and a foam block from the back side of the die cut. Turn over and use a small point shaping stylus to push down the center into the foam. Adhere together off centering the petals with each layer.
Adhere the background to a side folder 5″x5″ card. Layer the die cuts, starting with the Festive Holly, in the left side top and bottom corners, layering the rest of the foliage . Put 2 pinecones in each corner and then the poinsettias on top. Adhere the bird to the top of the bottom left corner arrangement. Add a gold jewel to the center from the Christmas Fairy Jewels. Adhere a sentiment of choice from the Christmas Label Foil Greeting Black Tabs set.
