Since I am still in need of a lot of Christmas cards I am mainly working on that type of card now. So here is the fairly quick card I made today.
I made the plaid background with a stencil using all Gina K. Designs inks on white card stock. I added this to a white card base. Next on white card stock with the use of my Misti I inked up the sentiment tree with the varied colors of green, yellow and brown. I then die cut out this panel and placed it onto the plaid design. To finish the card I added some gems.
Supplies used:
Artplorations Plaid Maker Stencil
Gina K. Designs A Very Merry Christmas stamp set, inks and card stock
Picket Fence Studios-Blending Brushes
The Greetery-Crimped Frame Die
Gems-Unknown
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Double D's Challenge: Focus on the Sentiment
Mod Squad Challenge:Stenciled Background
So fun to make another card. I had to redo it as the first rendition I did not care for but this one I really like. Thanks for visiting and hard to believe another week is soon gone. May all of you have a great evening now.
God bless,
Verna

I think you did a magnificent job of creating your plaid background, Verna! The image of the tree made from words is wonderfully scripted, but it's the plaid that makes this card great!! Hugs, Darnell
