Let's create Christmas cards with stamping playing the main role! You could use fun techniques like masking and and combine
background stamps with smaller stamps... Or how about using
non-Christmas stamps for Christmas and playing with some embossing
powders? Or stamping with watercolors? Or tone on tone stamping maybe?
The possibilities are endless... Let's get inky and creative! You can
choose any style from CAS to vintage, what ever you like the best... You
can use embellishments too -just don't cover up your fabulous stamping
completely!
Eli tarkoitus on siis tehdä joulukortteja leimaillen! Kortissa käytetty tekniikka ja tyyli saa olla ihan mitä haluat, kunhan pääpaino on leimailussa. Koristeitakin saat käyttää, kunhan annat leimailun loistaa pääosassa. Haaste on voimassa 1.10.-24.12. ja siihen saat osallistua niin monta kertaa kuin haluat. Saat osallistua kortillasi samalla myös muihin haasteisiin, rajoituksia ei ole. Kannattaa siis osallistua, luvassa on inspiraatiota ja vauhtia joulukorttisavottaan ja kuka tietää, saatat myös voittaa palkinnon (arvotaan random.orgin ystävällisellä avustuksella).
Tässä oma mallikorttini. Leimasin kraft-korttipohjalle Hero Artsin Magical Background -taustaleiman Versamarkilla ja embossasin pehmeän valkoisella jauheella. Tekstileima (FinnStamperin) on niinikään embossattu tuollaiselle pienelle bannerille, jonka alla on toinen banneri vellumista. Joulukuusi on Hero Artsin ihana Shari's tree no. 2, leimasin sen kartongille ja väritin Prismacoloreilla, tähdessä on lisäksi hieman Wink of Stella -kimallekynää. Koristeiksi hieman timantteja. Kortin kannen stanssasin Simon Says Stampin stanssilla kaarevaksi ja kortin sisäosan reunaan laitoin hieman washiteippiä.
Ja nyt kannattaa käydä Korttikarkurissa inspiroitumassa muiden DT:läisten upeista korteista ja osallistumassa itse haasteeseen! Leimailun iloa! :)

Sounds fun, doesn't it? The challenge runs from October 1st until Christmas Eve, December 24th, so you'll have plenty of time to participate. You can enter as many times as you want and if you like, you can also combine this challenge with other challenges. There'll be a prize, too... :) (Winner will be chosen at random with random.org so everyone has a fair chance).
For my card, I used a kraft coloured card base and stamped 'Magical Background' by Hero Arts with some Versamark ink and heat embossed it with seafoam white embossing powder. I used the same powder to heat emboss the sentiment (it says 'Happy Christmas' in Finnish) on the little banner which I attached on a larger banner die cut from vellum. The gorgeous Christmas tree is a Hero Arts stamp called 'Shari's tree no. 2' which I stamped on some cardstock and coloured with Prismacolor pencils, there's some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the star as well. I embellished the tree with some rhinestones. I die cut the curved edge of the front of the card base with a Simon Says Stamp die, and used some washi tape to decorate the inside edge of the card.
So that is my card and now, hop over to Korttikarkuri to see what fabulous creations my super talented team mates have created! Happy stamping! :)
