This fortnight at Jingle Belles, we're celebrating Cardstock Christmas, which means we're asking you to step away from the patterned paper... (scary, I KNOW!!!) ...put it away, there's NONE allowed! We're creating cards using only cardstock. You can tear it, ink it, stamp it, spray it, emboss it … but stick to only cardstock for your holiday card design!
One of my favorite ways to make a fast, easy background is with Wendy Vecchi's Build a Plaid Layering Stencils from Spellbinders and her Ranger Archival Inks. In this case I used Carnation, Goldenrod, Mulberry and Fern Green. As I often do, I built my plaid on a diagonal, and at the end I added some gold pen lines as well as two coordinating (cardstock!) mats, plus some poinsettia and foliage diecuts from the Christmas Add-On set for Wendy's Not Your Ordinary Card Collection. I couldn't resist finishing off with a few white velvet holly leaves and some glittery gold enamel dots.
Bes sure to visit Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and to link up your own cardstock-centric masterpieces. JB2518: Cardstock Christmas runs until the evening of Wednesday, September 10th.
