WOW do you believe it, we are now welcoming in December!!!. And next it's Christmas - are you ready? Do you have your cards finished?? no!!??!! Well Craft-Dee BowZ is here to offer inspiration
Since it's the first of December, there is a new challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ. And the challenges over at CDB are always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow. But since we are in the Christmas season, there are a whole host of Christmas projects that the designers are anxious to show off. We hope you will visit the Craft-Dee BowZ blog every Tuesday for some new design team inspiration .....and....we'd love to see your entry this month in the challenge.
Speaking of projects, let me share mine with you.
This is a 6"X 6" card and it's one of my favorite sizes for cards.
For this card, I layered CS bottom to top - Red CS, Green CS and DP. Next, I used 2 panels of cardboard, one of which I cut with the Holly Frame die. I pulled some of the top layer off the corrugated cardboard panels. Next I painted both panels with white gesso. After the gesso dried, I used the Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink to cover the raised areas and left the depressed areas white.
I adhered these 2 panels over the DP. I cut an oval and stamped the sentiment and inked the edges. I made my bow and attached it to the card. Then I made 3 poinsettias using a white shimmery text weight paper and added Flower Soft to the centers. I attached some of the stars to finish the card.
Here is a close-up of the bow.
I actually made a 4 loop green sheer bow and layered it on top of a triple loop white ribbon bow.
I wanted my green bow to pop and layering it on the white ribbon, made it POP. (IMHO)
