I played from this holiday card for my inspiration. IÂ’ll use this for a Christmas card. I normally do the front and store away and I decided this year that IÂ’d finish off the cards completely and get an envelope ready also. LOLÂ…I will love myself a whole lot come next Christmas!
-The tree image was inked up with VersaMark and heat embossed in white.
-The dear was inked up with VersaMark and then Bliss Blue and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
-The envelope is done with ink only.
-The narrow blue strips are just that, narrow strips that are glued to the card front beside the white to avoid it getting to thick and heavy. I like the single stamp price myself!
Deer image is retired from Stampin Up.
Tree and flourish images can be found from Cornish Heritage Farms.
