CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder - Pine

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas mid month reminder and Trina wants us to make some cards with pine on them. Remember you have till the 24th of the month to play along.


I used the Unity pine cone and branch set along with the sentiment. I stamped the branch directly onto the card base and stamped the pine cone on mixed media paper. I fussy cut the pine cone, coloured in different shades of brown and coloured the edged it using a brown pen. I used my McGill flower shaping tools to give a more 3D effect.

I added a few small sparkly white sequins as water drops.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Pine

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge this month Trina wants to see anything Pine.
Welcome
and 
as our guest designers for this month.


Here is my card for the challenge, I used my oval small Gelli plate inked with Distress inks and stamped it on the card. I used my Stamp Positioner for the pine branch (Chocolate Baroque) and inked up the stamp using Tombow water colour markers adding colour and stamping until I was happy with the image. I drew in the light reflection on one side to make it look like a glass bauble, added some small clear sequins and stamped the sentiment.


As I had my Gelli plate out I inked it again and this time used a different pine cone stamp (Magenta). These days when I create a card I try and make two or three using a similar technique but each card is slightly different.


I hope you head over and join in the challenge, just remember to follow the rules to have a chance of winning or being one of the top three picks.




Card Recipe
Stamps: Card 1- Chocolate Baroque-Pine cone and branch, Sentiment- Unity, Card 2 Magenta Pinecone and Sentiment.
Paper: 110lb White
Ink: Distress Inks, Versafine Clair
Accessories: Stamp Positioner, Gelli Plate, Mini sequins, White gel pen, Tombow Markers
Techniques: Gelli Plate Printing, Direct to stamp colouring
