Hi friends! Can you believe it's already October? October happens to be my favorite month of the year. I love the crisp mornings and evenings, and bright, warm afternoons we have here in Idaho. And the colors are just beautiful. That's the real world, but in crafting land October is the unofficial start to the Christmas season. When I saw the beautiful products in this month's Paper Pad Club and Stamp of the Month, I just knew I had to start with this gorgeous blue and gold paper from the Blue Christmas Paper Pad.
I started by stamping the hot cocoa circle image from the stamp of the month in white onto navy cardstock and then embossing in white. I cut with a pinking circle die from my way back stash. I selected a couple papers from the Blue Christmas pad and cut them down to size, matting with more navy card stock. I then used some navy and sand inks to stencil the "air mail" border onto my card base using the EZ Postage Grid & Border Layering Stencil. I love the finished look!
I fussy cut the cocoa loving girl ephemera so there wasn't a white border, then deepened the shading on the image with Copic markers. I popped her up on dimensional foam and then gave the whole card a good splattering with white splatter ink.
I finished off with a few iridescent snowflake sequins from my stash. Such a fun card to create!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head on over to the Not 2 Shabby Shop to see all the new goodies in the shop!
