Sunny Studio - Deck The Halls Cheerful Card

Hey there,

I'm so happy to be back with this bright and cheerful holiday card featuring decorative baubles from Deck The Halls, like a close-up of a Christmas tree.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. For the branches, I stamped them using a green dye ink first, next I used green markers to add more depth and make those branches more full, and then used a brown marker to color the middle of each branch. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Deck The Halls - baubles • Classy Christmas & Bells & Baubles - branches • Scenic Route - strings of lights.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the baubles using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light and to Rudolph's nose, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to the branches and then did the same with liquid stardust.

Next I cut a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday red gingham pattern paper, cut an opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn it into a frame, added white splatters to that frame, and set it aside to dry. I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a panel out of a Very Merry green pattern paper, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I attached my images to it using 1mm foam squares, except for the strings of lights that I stuck using liquid glue.

I attached my red rounded frame using 2mm foam squares, next the panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Bells & Baubles on black cardstock, cut those words using the matching dies, and attached them at the bottom of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "May the season fill your home with joy" from Cozy Christmas on black cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner and then stuck that banner at the top of my card using 1mm foam squares again.
