Tuesday with Tara {take 231} Peace & Joy
Happy Tuesday! Today I’ve got another card featuring the Festive Overlay stamp set by Tim Holtz. I colored directly on the rubber with Distress Markers, misted with water lightly and stamped on an oval panel which I had pre-cut from Ivory card stock. To keep things simple, I added the sentiment in black over it.
I pulled out an old plaid embossing folder (also by Tim Holtz) to add some texture to my background. The green oval has some pearly shimmer to it and the twine & charm I used finish it all off.
Here’s a closer look…
Here’s another look at my card along with the second card I made, using a second generation stamping of the bird on a white panel. This is done by simply misting the inked stamp with water to reactivate the remaining color on it. It gives a softer version of the original image. It’s always nice to get two for one 🙂 I finished it off with some die cut holly leaves and some bling as my holly berries.
I especially like the sentiment I chose for these cards, it’s perfect for people like me who tend to get their cards in the mail a bit late for Christmas arrival! ha!
Inky hugs,
Tara
