Clean and Simple Christmas with Kelly Latevola

by Bibiana Cameron on October 26, 2019 in Blog Tonic

Hello Crafters!

I am absolutely loving the new holiday release aren’t you? I immediately had all these visions of scenes dancing through my head! I did get to use one idea here, but I have so many more!

However, I know not everyone loves scene cards and that’s okay. each of our individual styles makes card making fun and interesting. Instead, of a full on scene card I decided to go with a clean and simple Christmas.

I used Siren Blue ink and my blending daubers to create a circle of ink on my cardstock.
When you ink up your dauber dab some of the ink off on a craft mat or scrap piece of paper.
Be very light handed and work the color up slowly.
Once I was happy with my background I heat set it to make sure it would not be wet for the next part.
I grouped several small snowflakes onto and acrylic block and inked them up with my embossing ink.
I covered the entire circle with stamped snowflakes.
Sprinkle on white embossing powder and tap off the excess. Heat set until smooth.

Stamp your images in alcohol safe black ink on a separate piece of white cardstock.
Color them up with Nuvo Alcohol markers.
Outline your images for a bolder outline or leave them as is, your choice!
Fussy cut images out. Use Black Script pen to color the cut edges.
Add some foam tape to the back of your images and a sentiment. All Done!

I think it’s super clean and I love that. There are so many images that can be combined together to create a completely different look! It’s definitely a great way to make sure all the images in your set get a little love

You can watch the entire card from start to finish in the video below.

Thank you guys so much for joining me!

Have a great weekend!
