2015 Countdown to Xmas: 25 Days, 25 Cards - Card #2

Hi everyone!

I'm here with Day 2 of my 2nd Annual Countdown to Xmas: 25 Days, 25 Cards!

Today's card uses stamps from this month's Simon Says Stamp card kit.  Along with another awesome Jingle Greetings stamp from Mama Elephant.  I also used a bunch of Hero Arts inks to create the background and stamped images.  This card was super easy to make and would be easy to replicate in different colors to make a nice gift set.

Materials:

• White Cardstock: 5.5"W x 8.5"H, scored at 4.25" mark
• Avery Elle Finished Frames Die Cut
• Simon Says Stamp Gifts of Love Stamp Set
• Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings Stamps
• Hero Arts Ombre Ink (Pink)
• Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Tide Pool, Mint Julep)
• Hero Arts Pigment Ink (Unicorn White)
• Versamark Ink
• Ranger Embossing Powder in Liquid Platinum
• Wink of Stella
• White Gel Pen
• Adhesive Tape Runner

Directions:

• Stamp the stockings in the center of a piece of white card stock
• Stamp the stocking on post-it paper three time.  Cut out the stockings from the post-it paper to create a mask.  Overlay this mask on top of the stockings
• Using a foam blender tool, gently apply the Tide Pool and Mint Julep ink in a swirly motion over the body of the stockings.  
• Gently remove the post-it paper.
• Draw a line across each of the stockings about 0.25" down from the top
• Using the white pigment ink, stamp snowflakes all over the stockings and the green/blue background
• Stamp the greeting at the bottom with Versamark ink.  Heat emboss with embossing powder
• Die cut this piece using the largest Finished Frames die
• Adhere all layers together.

Happy Holidays!
