Hi there and welcome back to my second blog of the new year! Today I am sharing the card I made for the January Christmas Craft Creations Challenge, where we have to include some stenciling. For my card I am using the cutest little Bee Merry set from Clearly Besotted. A "newbee" for me!!
I began by stamping the cute little stamps in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossing them with Clear Detail.
The images were then colored with Copics and fussy cut.
I inked the honey comb background using one of the Recollections Stencil set and Distress Oxide Peeled Paint ink.
The sentiment was die cut with an old Spellbinders Hexagon die to match the stenciled background. I added some of the Peeled Paint before removing the die.
Dimensional Glue was applied to the snow on top of the hive to which I added Diamond Dust Glitter.
Sparkling Snow glitter was applied to the bauble using the same glue and Snow White Flocking to the Santa hat.
The glue was also applied on top of the colored lights. Everything was set aside to dry.
Here is a close-up of the finished card, once the pieces had been attached with foam pads to the stenciled card base. Hopefully, you can see the dimension of the different glitters and flocking.
A red and white bakers twine was tied around the side of the card to finish off.
