Hi there, Susanne here sharing some more Christmas cards today. I’m playing with our Stars<\/a> and XMas Trees<\/a> stencils together with Distress Inks and embossing powders. This time I picked a colour combo that is less traditional for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the card backgrounds I applied Distress Inks to the Stars<\/a> stencil, spitzed it with some water and “stamped” it to my paper. I am using the Canson Mix Media Paper. I’m pressing the stencil down with a kitchen roll to soak up the excess of ink.
I picked different colour combinations for the backgrounds. I used Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers with Distress Ink Broken China, Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves together with Wild Honey and Distress Ink Wilted Violet, Distress Oxide Crackling Campfire with Distress Ink Barn Door.
My focal images are three trees made with the XMas Trees<\/a> stencil. I inked them with different Distress Oxide Inks and embossed them with Glitter embossing powders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sentiment comes with our brand new german card greetings “Kartengr\u00fc\u00dfe<\/a>“.

Here is a video from two weeks ago. I used the same backgrounds and trees on these cards. Enjoy the video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
