Christmas Card Series - Day 3, DIY Foam stamp + Ombre effect


Hello friends! Welcome to Day 3 of the Simple and fun Christmas Card Series. Today's project is a bit DIY kind of thing, like, making your own foam stamp. I don't have a regular foam in my stash so I used my glittered foam sheet which I had in my stash for quite some time! And also I've created an ombre effect using the same foam stamp. If you want to know how I created this card kindly watch the video below.
Entering this card for Beyond Grey Challenges #63 Monochromatic, I went with blues.. :)



Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

CASE-ing 100th Sketch!


Hi everyone! I'm playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #100 challenge. Yay! 100th sketch! It's really a wonderful milestone! Congratulations CTS team and you guys rock!


When I first saw this sketch, the first thing that hit my head was 'a roof top'. It's really an awesome one and I loved it. ;)


PROCEDURE

1) I took a cardstock which measure 5x4.
2) And sponged the card with Broken China distress ink.
3) Then I cut a few strips of card stock and colored them in Red Faber-castell ink and distressed with Frayed Burlap distress ink.
4) Then I took Fiskars embossing tool and embossed the strips just to give a wood grain effect/look.
5) I then adhered the strips with foam tape and white glue, in an over lapping manner.
6) And I added a chimney too at the top.
7) Then I stamped Darcie bird's stamp in Versafine black in and colored the cute little birds with Camlin Color pencils then stuck it behind the chimney.
8) Finally stamped a sentiment from Micia stamps in Versafine black ink..
9) And that's it our cute cute card was done! <3

Hope you like this card. Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care! <3
