This Christmas card was a class project last month. Color Scheme- Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow and Real Red.
I used the Daydream Medallions set along with its matching die set "Floral Frames Collection". The background on this card was done with......yep, you guessed it- wadded up paper! It started with a mistake (extra ink on the rubber stamp edge). We've all done that a time or 2 right? Next time this happens to your creation and you get an unwanted ink mark someplace- just use some little wadded up pcs. of paper. Simply take that little pc. of paper & dip in your ink pad and transfer to your card stock. On this particular vanilla pc. I used a little Mossy Meadow and a little Pear Pizzazz. Just have 2 little wadded up paper balls (1 for each color) & apply as needed. You can add as much or as little ink as you want to get the 2-tone color background you desire! Pretty nifty, and something we already have at home :) (added bonus)
And yes, in case you're wondering, I did mean to have my card going this direction! I put the words on the side for something different, but you could always turn this same card in the vertical position and have the words on the bottom.
Any questions- feel free to e-mail me at: stampinfool2006@yahoo.com
Stay tuned tomorrow for some more "Mid-Month Markdowns"! (some items from my retired StampinUP stash). Thanks- Lori Helvick
