I thought I should jump on board and make my first Christmas card for the year. I went for quick and simple - and this one would be easy to mass produce. This is my card for the SCS - Ways to use it - Challenge WT329 of "Something Old, Something New". See this link the deets: WT329 - Something Old, Something New (06-30-2011) by clarhan at Splitcoaststampers My old thing is the stamp image and the new thing is the purple organza ribbon.
The white cs embossed panel is one of the ef's from the Sizzix Winter Set #3 which I ran through my CB. I love this folder and it seemed to match the image perfectly with its stars - a match made in heaven! I added the purple brads in each corner then popped the panel up on doublesided foam tape to attach it to the white cs base.
The main image and sentiment is from my JustRite Christmas Treasures 3-1/4" diameter set. I stamped the image with Heliotrope pigment ink, poured on some satin pearl embossing powder and heat-set it with my heat-gun. I inked around the circle lightly so the panel would stand out a bit from the white embossed background then popped it up on doublesided foam pads (dimensionals) to attach it to the cs.
The organza ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. That's it - easy peasy. No colouring for a change! Finished card size is 4-1/2" or 113mm.
