Multi-tasking here due to lack of time, and apologies for the shadows on the card. It's a lovely sunny day and I have two lots of wash hanging out so they've totally shadowed my normal spot for taking card pictures .
For the current Stamping in Time assignment with ODBD, creating a Christmas card gets the last card for my February quota in just under the wire. For today's TLC I managed to find a sentiment that worked pretty well with Joan's create-a-ticket challenge, and just for fun it's also for last Thursday's challenge to use grey as the neutral, although I did use white for the image panel.
A2 base sponged with Pine Needles Distress Ink. Grey card stamped with StarvingArtistamps backgrounder in Versamark and embossed with white EP. Corners punched to match the ticket, and all edges distressed. ODBD image stamped on watercolour paper, cut outside the box with a Spellbinders circle and coloured with distress inks. It's layered on a page from an old book cut with the Lotus pendant, sponged with Pine Needles and embossed with clear EP. Sentiment is See-D's, stamped on the grey card, trimmed to size, corners punched and lines drawn in. Cardinal and sentiment are up on foam tape. I added silver Liquid Pearls to all the points of the pendant, black Enamel Accents in the corners of the base layer and Glossy Accents on the beak and legs of the cardinal.
