Hi there and welcome to another fantastic episode with Sweet Cherry Cards. I am always excited to be a part of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog.
Today's card features 3 different techniques- 3D die cut, fun ways to use patterned transparencies and adding surprise elements.
When I first saw this patterned transparency, I fell in love with it and I knew I had to use it to create something really pretty, like this card. Using the diecut 'believe' from Simon Says Stamp, I cut the word out of gold glitter cardstock.
The patterned transparency is partially backed with green striped paper. For the 3D diecut I added mini strips of double sided tape to the back of the cut out and carefully placed it back into the area left by the die cut.
Now, I know alot of people like surprises (like me) especially at christmas time, so I decided to add a surprise element to the card- candy canes by power poppy, coloured with copics. When you open the card you are pleasantly surprised by a coloured image of a christmas staple- the candy cane. The canes are also backed on green striped paper with a strip of gold musical notes at the side for fun!
The copic colours I used were GO2, YG09, Y21, YG03, YR02, R35, R27, YG05, E13, YR04, G07, Y35, G28, YG17
