I love this clean and simle Joy of Noel "pine bough" card! I finally found a use for the gold foil wood grain in the Joyful Specialty Papers! It's not only a strip on the card, but was used for the die cut "pine boughs"! And, I learned a new technique - splattering with a fresh Wink of Stella and clear block - I love the look! Add just a little coloring, and you're done!
Measurements:
- Shaded Spruce: 1/4 sheet
- Basic White: 5 1/4" x 8 1/8", 3" x 4" (image)
- Joyful Specialty Paper (N): 2 pcs @1/2" x 5 1/4" (gold wood grain - one inside, one outside), 3" square (for pine boughs - gold wood grain); 1" x 5 1/4" (Spruce Plaid)
To Make This Card:
- Fold White card base in half. "Splatter" front with Wink of Stella. Attach to Shaded Spruce card base.
- Attach "Spruce" strip next to fold, followed by "gold strip" right next to it.
- Stamp sentiment in Shaded Spruce on lower Right corner.
- Next, stamp "pine bough" in Memento Black ink onto piece of White. Color with Blends as shown. the "holly leaves" are a mix of Lt Shaded Spruce and Lt Old Olive.
- Die cut "pine bough" with corresponding die. Set aside.
- Now, die cut 2 "pine boughs" from the Gold Wood Grain piece. Arrange these behind "pine bough" and then attach to card as shown, with Dimensionals.
- Finish with Gold Strip on inside, and Black Gingham Bow.
