STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE CHRISTMAS CARD #1

 Today's card features my favourite stamp from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set.  How cute is this wooden reindeer?!

I stamped the image in Jet Black StazOn ink, on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and cut it out using a Textured Notes Die.

To add to the rustic look, I watercoloured the stamped image a little messily.  Sorry to my friends and followers who like a perfect, clean look!  šŸ˜„






These are some of my favourite details - the Real Red panel embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, the decorative edge of the Textured Notes die-cut, and the Adhesive-Backed Peppermints:




To create the tag, I die-cut a piece of Basic White Thick card, using a Layers of Beauty die.  Using a Blending Brush, I coloured it with Crumb Cake ink.  I then stamped the sentiment, from Humble Home, in Jet Black StazOn ink.  A Linen Thread bow was attached with Liquid Glue, once everything was stuck down.

The watercolouring was done with a Water Painter and drops of reinkers in a palette.







Inside the card, I added a sentiment from Greetings of the Season, in Real Red ink.

STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE THINKING OF YOU CARD

 Today's Rustic Centerpiece card features a watercoloured image, which gives quite a different look to the Stampin' Blends coloured image shared yesterday.

On a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, I stamped the rustic floral image in Jet Black StazOn ink.  I cut it out using a Perennial Postage Die, then set to watercolouring it with a Water Painter and ink refills (I added a drop of each colour to a plastic palette).  Using my Blending Brush that still had on it some remnants of Crumb Cake ink, I lightly coloured the edges of the die-cut rectangle once the watercolouring was dry.

The background Crumb Cake panel has been stamped, using Crumb Cake ink and text and splatter stamps from Elements of Text.  After sponging the edges with Crumb Cake ink, I mounted it on a Cherry Cobbler layer, and a Thick Basic White card base.




Here's a closer look at some of the details, including the Faux Glass Dots that I coloured with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker.





The sentiment, from Sentimental Framing, was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on a scrap of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  I cut the little tag using a Layers of Beauty Die, and added a Linen Thread bow.

My favourite stamp in the Rustic Centerpiece set is a Christmas one.  I have a few cards made, that I'll share with you soon.
