Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a busy and creative week of festive crafting.
This week for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT Post I decided to keep my design flat on my Christmas card to demonstrate how you can still get lots of interest and the illusion of depth onto a card. At the same time being able to put in an envelope for ease of posting.
This week for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT Post I decided to keep my design flat on my Christmas card to demonstrate how you can still get lots of interest and the illusion of depth onto a card. At the same time being able to put in an envelope for ease of posting.
My 2 base layers were cut out using my stacker dies. I
went around the edge of my patterned paper with my distress tool and added a
little ink and stickles around the perimeter. My Santa image I also used my
distress tool at the edges.
My image I used a little Frantage on and added onto my
die cut frame along with some more Stickles.
My Reindeer were cut out in the same brown card as my
frame and a maroon coloured card. I glued them together offsetting them
slightly to give a shadow effect.
Finally scattering some die cut snowflakes all over my
card. You will notice I have put some partly under the frame and others on the
top, this also gives an illusion of depth.
Have a great weekend and see you all next week.
