When I created this chalkboard card the other day, I made extras for all the Christmas Foliage and Grace Snowflakes and rather than let them go to waste I created this card – two cards same supplies (more of less). I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
CHRISTMAS GARLAND
For this card, I started with a panel of Neenah Desert Storm card and the Snowflakes Stencil from Simon Says Stamp. I swiped Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste through various snowflakes on the stencil to create diagonal movement from top left to bottom right. I then added the Christmas Foliage and Grace Snowflakes die cuts left over from my previous project here with foam adhesive.
I splattered liberally with white gouache over the whole panel and then added the panel to a card base cut and scored from Ivory card. I embellished with a twine bow, Pink And Main glossy dots and Glossy Accents on all the berries.
For the greeting, I took a simple sentiment from the Holiday Greeetings Mix 1 set and stamped it in clear embossing ink on a Black card before white heat embossing and trimming out. I added the banner to the card with foam adhesive.
And here’s the two cards side by side. 90% off the supplies are the same – same stamp set, die cuts, embellishments, and card stock. The only differences in supplies are the Gingham Background I used on the card on the left and the Snowflakes Stencil I used on the card on the right.
