Today I want to share with you two CAS (clean and simple), Striped Christmas Cards.
To make these cards, I was inspired with fantastic Jennifer's McGuire Masked Stripes Technique. What an awesome technique and result!!! I tried it for the first time this summer and was very satisfied with the result and how my card turned out. If you like, you can see the card here. :o)
For each card I used only one Distress Ink. Using mini ink blending tool, I blended colors on white panels. For masking I used Micropore surgical tape.
After I finished blending panels, I heat embossed in white sentiment 'Merry Christmas' on both. Sentiment is from Apple Blossom 'Happy Santa' stamp set.
Then I trimmed edges on both panels, glued 2 mm thick foam squares on back of panels and glued them on top folded white card bases. Lastly, I glued another white panel inside each card to make back of cards thicker and more stable, because fronts are quite heavy and cards couldn't stand.
List of supplies:
- Apple Blossom 'Happy Santa' stamp set
- white cardstock paper
- Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
- WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
- Tim Holtz's Distress Inks
