Christmas Miss You card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Christmas/Winter Holidays".

This Christmas card was made for my sweet friend who recently moved to Australia. I already miss her immensely and the Simon Says Stamp Script Miss You die of the DieCember release was a perfect match to let her know that. First I gave the background some color with Nuvo Mousse in Aquamarine and Pure Platinum, which I applied with the Mini Ink Blending Tool. I played on the top of the card with Infusions A bit Jaded and on the bottom with Iced Spruce in Distress Oxide and Ink.



 

When everything was dry I've made a mix of Transparent Gloss Texture Paste and Mica Powder Pale Silver and applied it through the Dot Fade stencil. To really make them stand out as rounded dots, I heated it with the heat tool while it was still drying.

  

The Tree Line die cut I've given some color using Distress Ink Forest Moss, Ground Espresso, and Distress Oxide Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain. With some mist from the Distress Sprayer the ink reacted and that gives a super cool effect. Yes and then the Flamingo ...! You will think, why is there a flamingo on this Christmas card ...? As I've already told you, my sweet friend and her husband moved to Australia and it's there now about 28 degrees Celsius, not really winter temperatures, plus she likes flamingos very much, so I liked to incorporate it into her Christmas card.
