Deck The Halls Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, so happy to be back with this bright and cheerful card featuring decorative baubles from Deck The Halls, like a close-up of a Christmas tree.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. For the branches, I stamped them using a green dye ink first, next I used green markers to add more depth and make those branches more full, and then used a brown marker to color the middle of each branch. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Deck The Halls - baubles • Classy Christmas & Bells & Baubles - branches • Scenic Route - strings of lights.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the baubles using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light and to Rudolph's nose, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to the branches and then did the same with liquid stardust.

Next I cut a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday red gingham pattern paper, cut an opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn it into a frame, added white splatters to that frame, and set it aside to dry. I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a panel out of a Very Merry green pattern paper, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I attached my images to it using 1mm foam squares, except for the strings of lights that I stuck using liquid glue.

I attached my red rounded frame using 2mm foam squares, next the panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Bells & Baubles on black cardstock, cut those words using the matching dies, and attached them at the bottom of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "May the season fill your home with joy" from Cozy Christmas on black cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner and then stuck that banner at the top of my card using 1mm foam squares again.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
