Classic Merry Christmas

 



We are celebrating Christmas in July all month long! My first card using the 1 Line Reindeer set was this one. I wanted to create a look of an ornament with the classic red/green combination. 
This is how I created this card: Prepare the card base using the Cottontail Embossing Powder tool, and white heat embossed the 1 Line Reindeer stamp. Stamp the reindeer one more time on masking paper and cut the mask. Apply mask over the embossed image. Cut two more masks, one that goes above the horizontal stamped image and one that goes below it. Remove the top horizontal mask and using a circular motion blend the green ink to create the top of the ornament. Place the mask back on and remove the bottom mask and repeat now with the red ink. Wait for the ink to dry and then remove the reindeer mask. Color nose and add highlights after dried. To finish the card stamp the sentiment and apply golden bling. As a last minute decision, I decided to use a notching tool to create notches on all 4 corners of the card and wrap a red embroidery cord around it.
