Today's SCS featured stamper is EbethNeu (Elizabeth Neumann). I chose her Stir It Up card for my inspiration. I loved the layout featuring a triple element on a square card design.
I haven't done many cards in traditional Christmas colors this year, but I really love how the red and green Core'dinations Vintage Collection cardstock goes together. These papers are from the fun Retro Mod Squad collection. Don't you just love how the paper already has a pre-sanded look.
Since I was using retro papers, I decided to use the Retro Tree-o from Stampendous. It is stamped in ColorBox Chalk Charcoal and Clear Embossed. I colored the trees with Sakura Spica Glitter pens. I initially colored the trees green, but they were a bit too green for the cardstock color, so I went back over and added touches of teal to bring them closer to the color I wanted. The stars are colored with a Gold Sakura Gel Pen.
The ribbon was rescued from some packaging. I love how Elizabeth cut the tails … I never think to do that. The Believe is one of those little plastic do-dads that you get in packages at Michael's (with the buttons). I've had it for-ever … and it worked out perfectly on this design.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.
Love this! That cardstock is amazing, and I just love those little trees!! Super cute!!
