Hi everyone, today for my DT Card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with
you my Festive Scene. I love how Cheery Lynn's dies can make so many wonderful
scenes on your cards/ scrapbook pages. On my card you will see how I have
adapted my Holly Wreath die and used elements from other dies to create this.
So let me take you through all the techniques on it.
My card measures 5" x 7", I tattered a couple of layers of
paper and glued in place. My Garland has been made from the Christmas Wreath by
cutting it into sections. I coloured my die cut with Copic Pens adding Glossy
Accents onto my Mistletoe.
My berries on the Garland were made from Red
Stickles glue, once dry I added a drop of Glossy Accents to form the shape of
berries. The bells were coloured with a gold pen and shaded at the sides with
Archival ink.
Santa was also coloured with Copics, dabbing some
Stickles onto his hat to make it Sparkle. His beard, eyebrows and hat I added
Snowtex and some Glamour Dust too. I mounted him onto my Stacker die to frame
him on the wall.
My tree has also been coloured with Copics adding
Stickles onto the baubles and once dry a layer of Glossy accents for a domed
effect.
I just adore this fireplace and had a lot of fun building
it up. I die cut out the fireplace 3 times layering on with foam strips for
dimension, adding an extra layer onto the mantle. I outlined the brick embossed
areas with a Fineliner Pen and added a different shade of paper to the back of
the fire. I shaded my logs with Distress inks and drop shadowed with grey
cardstock, adding in place with Silicone Glue. My flames are coloured with
Copics and a layer of Glossy Accents, off setting a few layers for a natural
look.
The Fireplace die also comes with the picture frames,
candles and stockings. On this card I used the Christmas Stockings and Parcels
from the Whimsical Set adding Candy Canes onto my Stockings for extra detail.
You will find these in the Build A Christmas Tree die set listed below.
