Christmas Card - Final Cut

I finally had the chance to finish up the Christmas cards for my hubby.  I told you that I had an alternative for the ribbon that he didn't like. I used Jingle Borders stamp set and embossed the barbed wire looking one in Cranberry EP.

For this one, I also opted to add some sparkle.  I had a mixture of Silver Pearl EP and Prisma Glitter, so I overstamped the stars trail in VersaMark then embossed. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up very well in the pic.  I also highlighted the windshield with Crystal Blue Marker and a Blending Pen. I opted to use Cocoa for Santa's boots to keep some of the black detail lines.

Thankfully, this one made the cut (like I had the time to do it over).  They are now signed, addressed and in the mail.

Christmas Card Prototype 1

My hubby asked if I could make him a few Christmas cards to send to his motorcycle riding friends. I spent a few minutes last night coming up with one design (more like an hour, but who's counting).

Here's his first prototype. He's not real thrilled with the ribbon (must be a guy thing). But I was prepared - I had another option to show him - just not put together. He liked the second option better, so will do that one today.

Here's a close up of the stamped image. I stamped the Santa in Staz-On and colored select areas with markers. His hat and coat trim are decorated with Flower Soft Polar White. I added a couple drops of the Distressed Stickles to the holly leaves.

Until next time...
