Hi everyone, today’s card is another Christmas card using the latest Lavinia Faelight Chronicles collection - I really am loving the Starpine, Sugar Pine Cones and Winter Foliage as well as the Glimmer Orbs which I think look so dimensional!
I die cut a stitched square of stamping card, and randomly stamped cascading Starpine in a mixture of 1st and 2nd generation Shady Lane Versafine Clair. I infilled the hanging foliage with Winter Foliage stamped in Avocado. I stamped three glimmer Orbs of various sizes, then interspersed with Sugar Pine Cones stamped with Pinecone VFC. I coloured the orbs and pinecones with Zig pens, added a layer of Wink of Stella to the orbs for sparkle, and white Posca pen accents on the pine cones. I stamped some Mini mistletoe from the Winter Foliage to top off each pinecone, then stamped the sentiment and coloured it with a clear Stardust pen. To finish I hand drew the bauble strings then matted the finished piece onto a red border and my card blank.
Here’s an angled picture to put the ‘glimmer’ in ‘Glimmer Orbs’! This picture actually illustrates a problem I am finding increasingly with my Gemini die cutting machine - the plates are very warped and damaged, but I’m soldiering on with them as new ones are not readily available. However they cause my cardstock to ripple and buckle, which can be seen in this picture.
