House of Cards Blog Hop

Happy December ! 

Today I'm sharing my final card as a Design Team member for

House of Cards Challenge.

This month we have a blog hop with prizes !

I can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years 

since I was invited to be a part of the team !

It is time that I pass my DT position on

to another deserving, creative designer. 

Keep reading for card details,

but first I'll tell you about our blog hop prizes.

MY SAMPLE CARD DETAILS:

Images used from 

Deck The Halls by MHKDesigns on Etsy

Whisper White card stock stamped with White craft ink

and the Woodgrain background stamp by Stampin' Up!

I then ran a stylus along the lines of the boards on the image

on top of a scoring board to create the "planks". 

The metal of the stylus reacted with the white craft ink,

a happy accident, so I didn't need to go back over with a 

gray marker ! This is meant to recreate the wall in 

the inspiration photo. 

The image was printed onto kraft and white card stocks

then carefully hand cut with small, sharp scissors. 

I created layers with dimensionals and chip board

scraps. The stocking image was colored with a white

colored pencil then slightly curved to create a bit of 

dimension before adhering with dimesnsionals. 

The tag was printed then punched out with an oval punch.

I sponged vanilla craft ink along the edges then

lightly stamped the itty bitty speckled background stamp

from Stampin' Up! This piece recreates the basket of wood

in the inspiration photo.

I hand cut a star shape from wide "canvas" ribbon

in my crafts stash. I also added a tiny kraft heart.

These elements are inspired by the 

decorations on the Christmas tree in the inspiration photo. 

Thanks for looking
and
Happy Holidays =)
