FAIR ISLE VIBE

  Welcome to this 29 day series of Christmas cards for the 2021 holiday season - so glad you're here with me! Hope you get lots of inspiration and entertainment right up to Christmas day...


Really pleased with the process and result on this card!

( I made a few other cards in this style a few weeks ago)


TECHNIQUES

ink direct to paper (Misti or other stamp positioner allows for repeated stamping to get drier inks saturated enough)
foam mounting and heat embossing (sentiment)

* I saw this technique demoed by Ruth at the YouTube channel artfulstampinwithruth in an older video a couple months ago and I was smitten!  The key is to find any image that are symmetrical (if stamped on a straight line both sides of an image look like mirror images). Literally any color combo will work as long as one is lighter and one is darker.




SUPPLIES

stamps - Stampin' Up! sets: Noteworthy, Etruscan, Northern Hearts, Creative Elements
inks - Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand and Ruby Red
flat back pearl gems - Stampin' Up!
